Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says Australia is dealing with the coronavirus pandemic in “two different stages” as Victoria is weighed down by strict lockdowns while the other states have begun to bounce back. “It’s Treasury’s forecast that up to 400,000 [Victorians] will either lose their job or see their hours reduced to zero as a result of the restrictions that have now been imposed,” he told Sky News.

” Mr Frydenberg said the government was committed to helping Victoria fight the virus by supplying ADF and medical personnel as well as through various economic supports. He said the other states were beginning to see some growth on the jobs front as of the 1.3 million jobs lost during the pandemic, about 700,000 were recovered with about 315,000 of those in New South Wales.
