has hit back at claims Victorians hit by a seven day COVID-19 lockdown have been denied further Federal Government financial aid.over what he said was a lack of financial support for workers hit by the state lockdown.
"Our understanding is that we have strong support, we have a strong system in Victoria. We believe that steps taken by Victoria today are appropriate. And we welcome them," Mr Hunt said. He said the federal assistance measures included the pandemic leave disaster payment of $1500 and the National Health Emergency Crisis payment.
Mr Merlino said the Federal Government had refused requests by Victoria for further assistance measures.
why won’t you report that the SOE in Victoria expires on the 4th of June? And this is the Andrew’s government way of extending the SOE? Why do you refuse to report this?
Of Course GregHuntMP Defends the Governments Lack of Support for Victorians, He Himself Still Gets Paid Regardless of Lockdowns, So Doesn’t Affect Him at All !!
Remove the total lockdown. Keep masks and hand sanatising and no socialisation but let all businesses operate and get vaccinated and live with it
Why can’t we ask SA for some financial support
Federal government has put billions into Victoria, yet Labor still wants more. Lockdowns destroy businesses.
Just like the little brother caught with his hand in the cookie jar trying to blame the older brother. Its pathetic, spineless and lacks any fibre of courage to not take any responsibility for the damage this lockdown has caused.
Pass the tissues
What what is the total contribution to Victoria’s GDP by those repatriated and let loose in Victoria? (let’s say all of them, not just those that have spread Covid) Was it more, or less, than the $250M and more, or less, than the total (to date) bail out Victorians have received?
But it was the Vic gov that sent us into lock down because of there inability to handle this pandemic
Excuse the French, but stop locking the fCk down then u utter bed wetting twat
What support?
Where was the Andrew’s government’s empathy for the family of the 8yo boys funeral last week. That decision was disgusting as was their press conference today. Turn your back on them fellow Victorians.
