Birmingham: Additional support for NSW to be announced today

Finance Minister Simon Birmingham says additional support will be announced for New South Wales with Greater Sydney’s lockdown set to be extend for another month but has ruled out a JobKeeper 3.0. “Over recent days, knowing that the NSW government was likely to have to make this decision to extend the lockdown … we’ve been having discussions as a government about what type of additional support might be necessary,” he told Sky News Australia. “The prime minister had further discussions with the NSW premier last night to inform her of our thinking in that regard. “And there will be additional announcements made during the course of today to make sure that we help NSW to get through this lockdown. “Our focus in terms of ongoing measures in supporting Sydney will be intently – from a federal government perspective – on helping to make sure that we save jobs and that we put the NSW economy in the best possible position to come back strongly following these lockdowns.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
