Business and unions have urged the government to consider UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's 80 per cent wage subsidy aimed at keeping people employed during what could be a prolonged coronavirus crisis.
But the Australian government has repeatedly baulked at the idea.
"No, we will not look at a UK-style system because in an Australian context that just wouldn't work," Senator Cormann told Sky News on Friday.

TONIGHT: WHAT WE'RE DOING SEEMS TO BE WORKING - SLOWLY

On The Bolt Report on Sky at 7pm: four more people dead, but what we're doing seems to be slowly working.  Shame on some journalists - and Labor - for spreading panic today by claiming we're failing. And Ray Hadley scapegoats a health official. Plus a psychiatrist on the mental damage and why people are behaving badly. And some laughs.
This coming from  Murdoch's media puppet who only recently suggested that the panic buyers were ahead of the game and the smartest of us all. They knew what was going on. Now he's done a 180-degree turn and telling you it's other journalists that are creating the panic along with Labour.
Andrew Bolt seems to ignore the fact that the LNP created the reverse of their social-distancing order and the 100-meter queues outside Center Link. Queues of ordinary Australians without work, self-funded retirees whose Superannuation has crashed 40% along with their dividends needed to keep them solvent and small businesses required to shut their doors. They aren't there because of journalists or the ALP but there because they can't cope. But more to the point neither can Centrelink because for the past 8 years the LNP has been modernising the public service the biggest union in the country. 
The LNP NBN doesn't work .gov doesn't work the Public Service doesn't work. Minister Stuart Robert blamed hackers walked back on that stupidity and ducked for cover, leaving Andrew Bolt to limply deflect the blame on his opposition media and the ALP. How Trump? How Murdochian PR driven, is that? What a predictable marionette he is. (ODT

JOE BIDEN ACCUSED OF ASSAULT. DOES HE STILL BELIEVE ALL WOMEN?

 Joe Biden about Brett Kavanaugh's accuser: “For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real." So must we now believe Biden's accuser?: "He went down my skirt but then up inside it, and he penetrated me with his fingers."

Note in times of global pandemic and a national crisis what strikes Andrew Bolt as the most important headline and the issue he feels he needs to pay attention to. But then Bolt has always been attracted to press porn, and he loves it!! He'd be up for a job a Bauer Magazines if he ever got sacked.
