NSW Treasurer Matt Kean is considering unlimited trading hours for supermarkets and pharmacies to ease supply chain problems.
NSW Treasurer Matt Kean is considering allowing supermarkets and pharmacies to trade 24 hours a day and also looking at a targeted version of JobSaver, the former federal wage assistance scheme, as possible economic and supply-chain relief measures.
It is understood that one proposal on the table is allowing supermarkets, pharmacists and select retailers to operate 24/7 to ease stock shortages. Regulations around delivery times would be relaxed with different rules in place for more residential areas. NSW reported 32,297 new cases on Wednesday – including 10,417 positive rapid test results from the last seven days – and 32 deaths, with 217 people in intensive care.
