What's happening now is abnormal to say the least and the country needs leadership to take us out of our debt hole, unemployment and when the dust settles massive small business closures and bankruptcies. In summary we need a well devised economic plan ( not economic management by crisis) and leadership which will put the country first rather than the economic interests of a few.

For those hard working Aussies who have lost their jobs through no fault of thrown and found themselves ignominiously in dole queues for the first time in their lives, then there has to be reform; reform which will mean that honest hard working Aussies are not a pay packet away from the breadline.

It is an absolute disgrace for Australia being one of the richest nations on earth resources wise, a relatively small population and those resources being owned by foreign multinationals with the majority of profits going overseas.

IMO, we should have copied Norway 40 years ago rather than relying on big business and big unions sponsored pollies to do the job for us.
"She'll be right" was obviously not good enough...eh?

PS: The reforms that we got in the 70s & 80s are being hacked away.
IE: Medicare once covered the visit to the doctor and now it doesn't cover 50% of the bill.
And like Basil Faulty might say "Dont mention the Specialist Gap Payment!
In the 70s and into the 80s there was free UNI & TAFE and now its user pays later with a
HECS (Loan)

So mate, we are seeing the reforms of the 60s/70s being frittered away by successive Neo-Liberal
Government who, like the US Republicans, believe in small Government, low taxes and let the "free" market
regulate itself. If Morrison had to stick to that gibberish we'd be on the road to economic collapse by now.
