If all Australians are to be able to get on with their lives, we need a considered response, not knee-jerk reactions, argues JAWestacott. | OPINION

Throughout the twists and turns of this pandemic, the business community has demonstrated our priority is, and remains, the health of all Australians.

We cannot continue going on with a stop-start economy, where families and businesses fall victim to inconsistent rules. It’s why business is asking for national cabinet to meet urgently to set nationally consistent and predictable rules around how to manage inevitable local outbreaks. We also support the release of consistent and clear information for businesses and individuals, common-sense notification periods that understand the time it takes for businesses to ramp up and ramp down, and a consistent permitting system.If all Australians are to be able to get on with their lives, we need a considered response, not knee-jerk reactions.

So, let’s build on the gains we’ve made as a nation, continue learning from our mistakes and stop taking an inconsistent and disproportionate approach to local outbreaks.
