Exclusive: A tougher screening process for international visitors will be considered by the National Cabinet made up of the Prime Minister and his state and territory counterparts, as they look to slow the coronavirus pandemic | rharris334 JennieDuke

Prime Minister Scott Morrison spoke to Ms Ardern and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday about the international efforts ahead of a secure phone hook-up with the state and territory leaders on Sunday.

"I am listening to their concerns and we will do everything we can to assist, but the reason we announced $17 billion in stimulus is to make sure businesses and workers can get through this tough period." The federal Budget is scheduled to be released in May and a government spokeswoman said the arrangements for the lockup would be "finalised closer to the date".
