Politicians cannot allowing COVID-19 to ‘ruin prosperity’

Scott Morrison and Josh Frydenberg are poised to follow in Paul Keating’s footsteps and have “recession we didn’t have to have” engraved on their political tombstones, Outsiders host Rowan Dean says. Mr Dean said the “unavoidable mack truck” of a demolished economy is set to hand office over to a “socialist Labor government”. "Australia does not need to go into an economic depression in order to defeat this virus,” he said. “If we do ruin our prosperity, it will go down in history as our greatest ever own goal, the recession we did not have to have." Mr Dean said Mr Morrison has so far made the right decisions to curb the spread of the virus, but said from May 1st, small business should be able to reopen if they adhere to social distancing and hygiene regulations.
