Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the government's coronavirus modelling to be released later today will not show predictions, but will help plan the way out of the pandemic
"You will have what we have... it is the full complement of what we have available to us," he told reporters in Canberra.
Mr Morrison says after national cabinet examines all the information, some states and territories may well decide to ease their restrictions before others. The prime minister confirmed that a mandatory code of conduct for commercial tenancies will be legislated across all states and territories. The rules will apply to commercial tenancies where the tenant or landlord is eligible for the JobKeeper payment and has a turnover of $50 million or less.
Younger people, in particular, have been warned about being complacent, given that people aged in their 30s are among the worst-affected patients.
