Mr Rudd says the current Prime Minister 'needs to either get started or get out of the way'. 9News
Former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd has slammed the lack of a economic response from the Morrison government.
"When looking at the economic impact, you can't just look at the effect on countries where the virus is most prevalent, like China. "It's concerning that Morrison is seeking applause for looking like he's ahead of the curve. He's really not. Other developed countries are making their own preparations," said Mr Rudd.
