Australia's "novel" coronavirus pandemic response is being praised by the highly-regarded Brookings Institution in Washington for preserving the nation's economic fabric without throwing millions of workers into potentially permanent unemployment.

JobKeeper and JobSeeker Payments keep people in work in Australia.

Other decisions by the Australian Government  that have been winners are:

1. Stopping Chinese travel to Australia early (including by students returning to Australia despite complaints from universities)

2. Establishing a National Cabinet

3. Isolating people for 2 weeks in hotels on their return to Australia ( because isolation at home did not work) and

4. The new Contact Tracing App 

Any other compliments we can give?
