Premier Andrews $3b support package is 'propaganda' and 'no real solution'

Restaurateur Chris Lucas says Victorian Premier Daniel Andrew’s recent announcement of a business support package is just "more spin, more rhetoric, and more propaganda" but offers no real solution.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Sunday a $3 billion support package for businesses in the state in a bid to keep them afloat during the lockdowns.

Business leaders say the stimulus package won’t even touch the sides, given how hard the premier’s lockdown measures have hit businesses in Melbourne.

"Worse still, the support he offered last time hasn’t even yet been delivered," Sky News host Peta Credlin said.

“These announcements are no different to what’s been going on for the last months, it’s more spin and more rhetoric, more propaganda, but no real solutions quite frankly,” Mr Lucas told Sky News.

“The $3 billion headline figure, $1.8 billion of it is deferred payroll tax, which quite frankly most small businesses in Victoria at the moment are probably not paying anyway because they haven’t been open for the last seven months.

“So you know, there’s just no real solutions here and quite frankly I think everyone’s getting sick of the spin.”
