The COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected Australian society and its impact on the economy has been severe. Many industries have suffered huge losses in revenue due to closure of both domestic and international borders, movement restrictions and a general slowdown of economic activity.
The Federal Government is planning its post- pandemic strategy, but there is only a finite amount of money for direct economic support available. Many industries and organisations will be lobbying for support from the government.
