Will the governments financial support package be enough for businesses to survive Sydneys lockdown?
Prime Minister Scott Morrison and NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian stood together in Sydney on Tuesday afternoon to announce a $5 billion support package for businesses and workers affected by the current NSW lockdown. It was quite a departure for a Premier who a month ago was saying no more lockdowns and a Prime Minister who has resisted calls for federal support for other states who have closed for business during the pandemic. Today on Please Explain, the Heralds state political editor Alexandra Smith joins Tory Maguire to discuss the package and whats happening in Sydney.
