Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says he believes the New South Wales government is doing “everything possible” to get on top of Sydney’s COVID outbreak but it is the federal government’s job to provide whatever support is needed.
“I think they are doing everything possible to get on top of this outbreak,” he told Sky News Australia.
“Obviously the numbers are too high, and we want to see them come down.
“Victoria, the good news is, that they’ve come out of their two-week lockdown, South Australia out of their lockdown and it’s hopeful that we can see, over time, New South Wales come out of their lockdown.
“But our role is to provide support right across the country and that is what we’re doing in NSW to the tune of three quarters of a billion dollars a week.”
