Coronavirus stimulus package worth $84 billion passed without objection by Parliament

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-23/coronavirus-economic-stimulus-passes-parliament/12080388

hmm, so no more sitting of parliment for 5 months

then no more stimulus packages for 5 months?

scomo only 2 days ago was saying 'me n josh will be standing here making more anouncements as days and weeks go on'

mixed messages again

There's a package at the end of this month and another in July.

How many payments do you want?

Parliament reconvenes in September. 

Not too long to wait after July, is it?

we have 278 new cases today.. bringing us to 18887 cases

the U.S. has 9.903 new cases, with a total of 43,469 cases

At least the package passed through parliament without a hitch. They're still arguing in the U.S over their stimulus. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones has fallen another 4% overnight. Things are really grim in NYC with half the total infections there ( over 16,000)

[myoclon1cjerk]

Oh I just saw that,debra. So New York might have something like 20,000 cases.

On Live Parliament yesterday the PM said there will definitely be more sittings during that time even if it's at a reduced level.
