Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews on Thursday night agreed to a new COVID-19 support package that will make it easier for business owners and workers to access emergency income support when a state or territory forces them into a CCP virus lockdown.
As part of the new arrangement, when a state or territory, such as in the case of Victoria, imposes a lockdown of fewer than seven days, the Commonwealth will provide income support through the COVID-19 Disaster Payment.
