An Expert on Australian Politics Discusses the Lessons to Be Learnt From Coronavirus and the Government Stimulus Package

Michelle Grattan at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Michelle Grattan* *Politics, Oceania* [image: Reuters] Here's what she had to say. Let’s hope it won’t come to this, but handling the coronavirus might eventually make dealing with the global financial crisis look rather a doddle. The GFC was devastating - for businesses, individuals and many economies. But it was a financial crisis that drove an economic crisis. When a health crisis is the driver of an economic crisis, the uncertainties are multiplied, and people’s reactions are more difficult to predict.

Suspending campaigns: A bug or a feature>?
