The Morrison Government is facing a “testing, dangerous period” as the Australian community becomes further impacted by the spread of COVID-19, The Australian’s Editor-at-Large Paul Kelly says. While the Coalition has been praised for its handling of the virus thus far, it has been criticised for the slow rollout of a public information campaign. Mr Kelly said the information campaign had been “far too slow” to roll out and for perceived mixed messaging. “The Australian public will find the normal modes of behaviour will be increasingly disrupted and impacted due to the spreading virus,” he said. “The government needs to be careful because there has been an increasing sentiment that perhaps Australia ought to be doing more, or to be taking stronger action.” Image: News Corp Australia
