Borders remain shut to avoid ‘disastrous’ return to lockdown

Cornerstone Group Senior Director James Cullen says it "makes sense" for state borders to remain shut in order to avoid a return to strict lockdown measures. He told Sky News it would be a “complete disaster for the economy and business” if the nation was forced to re-enter lockdown, but reiterated the national cabinet and leaders were “very reluctant to go backwards”. Mr Cullen said the government and housing sector were facing an “investment cliff” in the coming months. “This economic challenge is not going to be not about the next three to four months, but is going to be about the next 12 to 18 months," he said. “It’s going to be an area of real focus for the federal government over the next few months and I would expect to see some more measures rolled out by then.” Image: Getty Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
