According to our economics and finance expert, Massimiliano Tani, only targeted investments and greater attention to infrastructures will be able to restart the Australian productive machine.


The health emergency continues to dictate choices also in the field of the Australian economy.


  • Scott Morrison presented the details of a gas infrastructure plan.
  • An analysis by Deloitte/Access Economics reveals that reducing subsidies could seriously damage the Australian economy.
  • The Victorian government package to help small and medium-sized businesses has been well received by the sector.

We talked about it with Massimiliano Tani, professor of finance at UNSW-Canberra.

Metropolitan Melbourne residents are subject to Stage 4 restrictions and must comply with a curfew between the hours of 8pm and 5am. During the curfew, people in Melbourne can only leave their house for work, and essential health, care or safety reasons.

Between 5am and 8pm, people in Melbourne can leave the home for exercise, to shop for necessary goods and services, for work, for health care, or to care for a sick or elderly relative.

All Victorians must wear a face covering when they leave home, no matter where they live. 

People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others. Check your state’s restrictions on gathering limits.

If you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, stay home and arrange a test by calling your doctor or contact the Coronavirus Health Information Hotline on 1800 020 080.
