Unhappiness Over Government’s Covid-19 Economic Response

Kirsten Pearson-Steering Committee Member Of The Budget Justice Coalition On The Budget Justice Coalition says there is evidence that millions of people are suffering as a result of a loss of income and the restrictions placed on the informal market by the lockdown regulations. This threatens to undermine the initial progress made in the public health response to the disaster. The organisation says it believes government can and must do more to prioritise its available resources to support the health care needs, incomes, livelihoods and access to food for everyone.
