Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Sunday the indefinite ban was mandatory for all 'static' gatherings such as theatres and concerts, threatening the future of the multibillion-dollar industry.

"The creative and cultural sector is understandably concerned about COVID-19 and wants to be confident that government is fully informed of the near-term impacts on the sector," Mr Fletcher said.

"We're a very efficient industry that's largely dependent on ticket sales. We operate very leanly. It's very difficult to withstand shocks like this," he said."We don't know what closure period will be necessary. It's imperative we have a time period to work with to communicate to our audiences." A new website dedicated to calculating the effect of cancelled events across the industry has sprung up, with close to 1000 submissions received in 24 hours., claims the lost income from more than 10,000 cancelled events is more than $25 million, with the livelihoods of at least 84,000 people affected. That includes performers, production crew, hospitality workers and booking agents.
