Economy was weak before COIVD-19: Labor

Labor Leader Anthony Albanese has urged the government against blaming all of its economic woes on COVID-19, saying the economy was weakening before the crisis hit. "The fact is that we are going through a crisis, but the other fact is that the economy was soft before this crisis,” he told reporters on Thursday. "Labor has been constructive during this period. We have made constructive suggestions, many of which have been taken up by the government. "Most significantly of which is wage subsidies that have kept relationships between employers and employees. "But coming out of this crisis, we need to do better." Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
