Scott Morrison:
I said in the parliament that 2020 for most Australians was going to be the toughest year. And what we have seen unfold just this week has been demonstrating just that Australians who have lost their jobs, lost hours of work. Businesses that have been forced to close their businesses. These are heartbreaking events in our nation's. History and story. And I want to assure all Australians that the national cabinet has been meeting as the federal cabinet has been meeting. State governments also. And we've considered the many, many difficult issues we are having to address. We are not unconscious of the of the real impacts that these measures are having on the daily lives of Australians. And so we will continue to do everything we can, both as a federal government and a state and territory governments around the country to do all we can to support our people through what is going to be an incredibly difficult time. The cues that we saw outside Centrelink, the challenges and frustrations people have had in gaining access is a sheer function of the extraordinary and overwhelming demand. And we will work night and day to ensure that we can get more capacity into these systems. Look, what this reflects is the size of the need and the size of that need as demonstrated by the impacts of what the Corona virus and the many things that governments are having to do to limit its health impacts across the country and to ensure that we can protect the lives of Australians on places of worship and other similar type venues.
Scott Morrison:
There has been a very difficult decision we've had to make tonight in relation to weddings and in relation to funerals. Now, weddings can continue to be conducted where it is just the couple, the celebrant and the witnesses.
Scott Morrison:
That's no more than five people. And the four square metre rule has to be observed within the venue in which that's taken place. Funerals to no more than 10 persons observing the rules around the four square metre rule and the social distancing practices.
Scott Morrison:
Visits to your premises, to your house, to your residents should be kept to a minimum and with very small numbers of guests. We don't want to be overly specific about that. We want Australians to exercise their common sense. So that means barbecues of lots of friends or even family, extended family coming together to celebrate one year old birthday parties and all these sorts of things. We can't do those things now. These will be significant sacrifices. I know we've all been to those events as extended families and gatherings and gathering together and that way, even round the large family table in the family home when all the siblings get together and bring the kids. These are not things we can do now. All of these things present risks and they obviously present them to the elderly, members of our families as well, who we need to protect house parties where someone wants to now have the social events, not at clubs and venues like that, but to organise a party at someone's home. It's the states and territories will particularly be looking at that one and be considering whether they will put specific measures in place that could lead to that being an offence for those who've organised those types of events.
