PM prepares another round of income support

Scott Morrison is preparing to introduce another wave of coronavirus economic support with almost one million Australians now out of work. The prime minister is putting the final touches on the postJobKeeper package before the details are announced next week. ‘‘It will be there for everyone who needs it, based on the impact on their business and the impact on their employees,’’ he said yesterday. Mr Morrison said the national measures would ‘‘disproportionately benefit’’ Victoria, where a fresh outbreak has forced millions of Melburnians back into lockdown.
