Australia at foot of $100 billion coronavirus mountain
There is "a mountain yet to climb" as the Australian economy tries to recover from the coronavirus pandemic, the prime minister has warned. Scott Morrison said around 1.6 million Australians are now on JobSeeker, after COVID-19 stripped jobs from hospitality, retail and tourism. Speaking at the CEDA State of the Nation summit, Mr Morrison said "over $100 billion of economic activity" has been lost this year.
