Australia is prepared to tackle the coronavirus rather than use it as an excuse to reward the rich:

QuoteThe Australian government has vowed to slash taxes and increase spending to shore up the country's coronavirus-ravaged economy, in a move that would see the deficit swell to a record level.

Australian Treasurer Josh Frydenberg announced a package of measures to help reduce unemployment and stimulate the economy in his budget on Tuesday.

Those measures included A$17.8bn (£9.8bn; $12.6bn) in personal tax cuts and A$5.2bn in employment programmes.

This spending is forecast to increase Australia's deficit to a record A$213 billion, or 11% of gross domestic product (GDP), this financial year.

The deficit is the difference between government spending and revenue over the course of a financial year.

"This is a heavy burden, but a necessary one to responsibly deal with the greatest challenge of our time," said Mr Frydenberg.
