Big business and tourism groups want the Victorian government to give more clarity on further easing of coronavirus restrictions after what they saw as another conservative step out of lockdown.
With five new cases all linked with known outbreaks on Wednesday, Professor Sutton flagged a “pretty strong expectation” of further easing in a week, without going into detail on what was likely to change. Tim Piper, Victorian head of the national employer association Australian Industry Group, said the piecemeal move out of lockdown left industries with a “sense of limbo with a lack of confidence on what is happening in the future”.
Paul Guerra, head of the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, responded that Victorians had been “conditioned to day-to-day case numbers, but no movement on restrictions for a week”.
This government sucks
Meanwhile - ordinary people don’t want to get sick or die for big business.
All business, not just big, would like such clarity
