Govt ‘doing all we can’ to help Australians through economic crisis

Nationals Senator Perin Davey says the government is “doing all we can” to help Australians manage financially through the coronavirus pandemic. “The good thing is the International Monetary Fund actually think that Australia is going to come out of this better than some other nations,” she told Sky News. Ms Davey said the government’s early superannuation access scheme would provide help for people who took a financial hit as a result of lockdown restrictions. She said they received 750,000 applications for early access to super and $6 billion was released on Tuesday. “It is certainly an initiative that people are making use of and I think that it is a very good way to allow people access to money so that they have that security to get through the restrictions and so that we keep money in our economy,” she said.
