Leave Nobody Behind Camille -- It is time to give parents clarity. Labor believes NSW schools and TAFE should be closed after tomorrow. NSW Labor offers its strong support for a comprehensive shutdown of non-essential services and activities. NSW must fully support workers and businesses whose livelihoods will be disrupted. We must ensure there is access to comprehensive online learning and a schooling service for the children of key workers such as medical professionals, and other students who need the caring environment of a school.

The message of social distancing is yet to get fully through to the community. Gladys Berejiklian and Scott Morrison's message must be backed by a strong public health information campaign and alert system, like in New Zealand. They should explain to the community what steps the government is taking to protect us. Labor stands ready to expedite the necessary legislation, stimulus, and associated measures. <https://www.nswlabor.org.au/coronavirus_information?e=d69b553709958ec3b6acbb737dc89d1e&utm_source=nswlabor&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=24032020_jodicarona&n=3> All of NSW stands united in dealing with the unprecedented health challenge of COVID-19. It is essential we leave nobody behind. Yours in Labor, Jodi McKay NSW Labor Leader |
