The government borrowed a record £62bn last month to pay for the ballooning costs of the COVID-19 pandemic – especially the job retention scheme.
This is almost three times higher than the amount borrowed in April 2012 during the last economic recession.
Sources of government revenue – like VAT receipts – have fallen as consumers spend less on household goods and clothing.

He said encouraging people to cycle and walk to work will be a key part of easing the lockdown.

Social commentator Prue MacSween says the people who are “getting into a lather” over the new COVID Trace app are the very people who engage with the government through the ATO, Medicare, and “mindlessly share their whole lives” on social media.
“if we come down with the virus, wouldn’t you want to warn the people you love and others who may have been exposed to you for 15 minutes or more,” she said.
Ms MacSween noted if the country is truly serious about “eradicating this scourge that has killed around 76 Australians,” then why would any “sound minded person not want to download it”.
