Coronavirus support package will see businesses get cash payments and tax relief to get them spending

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-12/coronavirus-economic-stimulus-combatting-the-spread-of-covid-...

oh, its a 'support package' not a 'stimulus package'

totally different then.

give money to welfare cheats? really?

i can think of at least 1 poster here who will not be a happy camper.

This support package might fail in the short term. Millions of people with $750 in their bank accounts who'll be too nervous to visit shopping malls etc,fearing they might contract the virus.
I bought some albums from OS before this virus hit the fan. I'm now waiting to see if they arrive in the usual amount of time before I make more purchases.

you must remember buying online is not a human free zone

after you press the 'buy' button you start a long process of your item being handled by many hands.

if just 1 of those steps is affected by the virus your item could be delayed by several weeks.

the only actual way to buy right now and be sure you get what you want 'now' is to actually go out and get it yourself.

His business would certainly have a much better chance of success if he spent his time on it instead of on looking for obscure information on a virus and then trying to show how knowledgeable he is.

Obviously intelligent dialogue offends - should not be surprised , is a national cultural trait

Intelligent dialogue does not offend.

Stringed over verbose - perhaps does so - and generally unecessary.

' Cultural trait ' could be deemed ' offensive '.

Call it what you will but double dipping is double dipping. You were prepared to start up a business before the package was announced so nothing has changed, you're no worse off than you were. If the govt gave your business a handout and the business failed, what good has the money done? If it's a sound business it'll survive without a handout.

You seem to have a real obsession about this virus. I'd say it's going to become a self-fulfilling prophecy, ie. you'll get it.

Financially a business is a separate entity to a private person , therefore a legal representitive or owner can on behalf of the entity apply for funding - not that it will be always granted , but ethically can apply

AS for me , the private individual , one must be careful in commenting about issues that may be soley relavent to another country as this can create a backlash from those that may feel intruded upon

Geez - keep it together - a ' sole trader ' (as you mentioned) is the entity - you.

And just to keep it together - relavent is relevant.

You're already getting Newstart while you run your business. In other words the government (taxpayers) are funding your business. How much more do you expect for nothing?
