With the curve flattened, the PM is focused on getting a million people back to work

About 708,000 jobs are estimated to be either lost or hit by restrictions, with the hospitality sector expected to feel the most impact.

The job losses and business closures also have a compounding effect on other industries, which then flow on to other parts of the economy, Mr Morrison said. "And the expert economic advice we have received from the Treasury, is that not opening schools fully, is costing jobs.But when asked, Mr Morrison suggested he would not put pressure on states to ease restrictions around school closures.Owning a home, a secure career, now travel — virus the last straw for Millennials"At the end of the day, states have sovereignty over decisions that fall specifically within their domain," Mr Morrison said.

For the first time since World War II, a New Zealand Prime Minister sat in on an Australian national cabinet meeting. Mr Morrison said there were also jokes about New Zealanders being able to visit Western Australia before the rest of Australia was able to.The way people work will have to change, according to National COVID-19 Coordination Commission chair Neville Power.

He could start by getting parliament back to work.

(Stays isolated, waits for 2nd wave...)

There is no hope of the ScottyFromMarketing idea of snap back coming true. It just can't happen. Economics doesn't work that way.

Too late his and our Premiers destruction of our economy on false information and supposition will never recover. Herd protection should have been the method. See Sweden as an example.

How about someone? Anyone? At the abc, ask ScottMorrisonMP why parliament won’t sit till August if it’s safe for school kids and workers to go out into the community again?

I think he instinctively doesn't like flattened curves ...he has mistaken it for a curve reporting fiscal wealth and has had a panic attack ...everyone must go back to what he calls 'normal'. His nervous system is not wired like your average human being.

Scotty from Marketing is still aiming for herd immunity. We should stay locked down until the virus is eradicated.

The Government are the ones holding it back. Keep the borders closed but let us get back to work. Don’t listen to the media hyped sheep , lift restrictions.

How is this possible to do without killing 100s of people. Stagered start times, does this mean school times will be stagered ourlivesshouldmatter keepvicinlockdown

Back to work? The bastard held off on long needed infrastructure projects for his entire prime minister ship. He has been costing jobs for some time...

Rupert is pushing his PM to get the peasants moving.

The new curve!

For less than what they earned before the shutdown.

...and let the Hillsong Conference begin!

You and your gang first Scotty, get back to parliament.

GOOD! Because currently having lockdown & foolish restrictions is harmful and more damaging to society on the whole than actually providing any benefit, especially given it has been almost 3 weeks since the cv19 curve flattened. This endless insanity causes pointless detriment!

Pray for no resurgence......!!

Well done ScoMoses. Let the people that want to resume life get at it & the scared the permission to hide away.

the premiers have covered this blokes arse for the past 6 weeks...scummo determined to make his mark..watch death toll climb

And that’s the last thing you rabid lefties want.

How about addressing how piss poor of a job he’s done on jobkeeper

The curve is flattened. Except for the spikes.

If wanted that he could have closed borders in February....and wouldn't have lost the work.

does he not know what happened to Germany? jesus

Morrison says open up the economy to recapture one million lost jobsPrime Minister Scott Morrison has set a goal to restore one million jobs by opening up the economy as soon as this Friday, piling pressure on state and territory leaders to ease their coronavirus restrictions. It is interesting to see Morrison’s focus change from health to the economy... showing his true colours I just think Sco Mo is a nob. He's a deer in the headlights. I don't disagree but how he goes about things is like a maniac! It all comes down to money, doesn't it Scomo?
