'They sustain me': PM reflects on family, admitting it's hard to imagine world on other side of pandemic

In an emotional moment, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he was drawing inspiration from his grandmother who lived during the Great Depression, and admitted it was hard"trying to imagine the world on the other side" of the COVID-19 pandemic.Mr Morrison reiterated his message that coronavirus will affect the way Australians live for next six monthsHe said having his family with him was a great comfort. An estimated $1.6 billion will fund the temporary overhaul.

Changes have also been made to a range of award conditions to ensure people are able to work from home — arrangements not reflected in some industry rules. Mr Porter said it was the result of remarkable cooperation between the government, unions and business groups."There are no more unions or bosses. There are just Australians now."The Prime Minister reiterated his message that coronavirus impact will affect the way Australians live for at least the next six months."While we have to be isolated, we can still remain connected.

Mr Morrison and his family normally live in Sydney at Kirribilli House but are now at The Lodge in Deakin. "I am pleased that my family is with me, they have joined me in Canberra and that is a great comfort to me ... I hope that it is comfort to them," he said."You talk to kids about what this means, and I suppose the really difficult issue for all of us is trying to imagine the world on the other side of this and to give your family some positive and encouraging news about how amazing Australia is and [how] we all come out of this.

Well come and meet my FAMILY, NO CENTRE LINK, NO WORK, NO WAY OF TALKING TO CENTRE LINK ON REJECTED FAMILY ALLOWANCE, THEN GETTING ADVICE TO PAY, GOVT BROBO DEBT , WHY AND HOW, SO NO INCOME SCMO, COME HERE AND SEE

Strange I thought it was his Pro$perity Theology

'You've just got to keep your family positive and stay connected and together.'...and he wants parents to go out to work & to shunt their kids off to childcare, go figure!

Can you please draw more focus on the Australians stuck in India away from their children their families

FatherBob I imagine it with a different PM

Great pretender. He who cannot feel.

Well can someone tell me how I’m supposed to sustain my family without an income because a cold has gone through all 5 of my family members, and I can’t get tested for COVID to go back to work, because I don’t fit the criteria, but can’t get financial assistance, because I work?

another family to think of...

Think about the people who don't have a family during this health crisis.

Scotty should read something there is lots of people taking about the world on the other side. Lack of imagination isn't a excuse.

Well lucky you, PM. I have no family. I rely on my own resources. I’ve been doing fine, that is until I heard about Bruce Dawe’s death and watched Revelation. I’m so sad about Bruce and about those poor little boys. I have no sympathy for you at all.

Pity he didn't have an epiphany during those talks with his Grandparent, he might have been a less self-serving amoral individual…with more empathy during the MorrisonFires & AustralianDrought and SportsRorts wouldn't have happened. Covid19Australia StayAtHome auspol

Yes right now he has a really difficult job BUT Am I the only one that noticed that ScottMorrisonMP never once extended his condolences to the families who had recently lost loved (elderly) ones. Then proceeded to talk about his own grandmother. SMFH auspol

Absolutely appalling ABC so sick of the BS . Your no longer even believable anymore. So sad to see what you have become! We are Are all in this together! taking our PM out of context for click bait, enough is enough! 🤬

Well done to all the great work being done by the PM and Government.

me looking for the news value

It’s nice that they are doing jigsaws as they are fun things to do but perhaps they should also be doing something that engages them with the hardships in the world like starting knitting group for the homeless.....

Is it hard for him to imagine the world on the other side of the pandemic because he is sure the rapture is almost upon him? After all he has committed Australia to God.

It’s a really tough job and although I thought they were slow with reacting to the bushfires, he’s been proactive here and listened to what Labor has been saying too.

More click-bait for the ABC's true believers to gag on, really sad for U ABC 😢😢.

We'll always have jigsaws.... That will sustain us

Hard to see anything when you’re CrimeMinisterMorrison

Where is the positive encouragements to do the right things - where is the building of hope!? What a negative soul destroying idiot!

Stop It! Just Stop It.

The Government has announced a plan for free childcare. Here's what that meansChildcare will be free for families amid the coronavirus pandemic. But what does that really mean, and how will it work? Instead of paying for everyone’s child care, why couldn’t the government have said people can pay a known and trusted neighbour (who is probably forced to be home) to mind their child, without income tax implications. Much cheaper. community Your kids get the crap kicked out of them daily? Scotty fucking Sanders 2020 or what?
