Morrison says open up the economy to recapture one million lost jobs

Ramping up the case for an economic restart, he cited Treasury estimates that the school closures will cost 304,000 jobs, the controls on industry and public gatherings will cost 708,000 jobs and the slump in domestic and international demand will cost 516,000 jobs.

While school closures were not on the agenda on Tuesday, Mr Morrison highlighted the economic cost of keeping parents at home to look after children rather than returning to work. The Treasury analysis found the biggest economic declines were in NSW and Victoria, which are losing 3.7 percentage points and 2.7 percentage points in economic activity respectively.

The economic impact of the pandemic, and measures aimed at stopping its spread, continue to weigh on the nation, with only 38,926 new car sales were sold in April. But he cautioned if restrictions were delayed, or reimposed to deal with a fresh outbreak, then the economy could suffer an even larger hit.

Ah, looking to shift blame to the States already. How predictable. He's studied Trump's playbook.

well...he panicked, and now realises that he overreacted and did enormous damage unnecessarily. But those guys over there...they need to get on board...

Labor and greens voters would hate this. Staying home and getting paid by the government is exactly what they have been striving for for years.

If anyone can do it...

Just get on with it you clown.
