The Australian Government response to the pandemic with Greg Hunt
Health Minister Greg Hunt in conversation with our chief economist Richard Denniss, as part of the Australia Institute’s Economics of a Pandemic webinar series. This was recorded live on Tuesday 19th May 2020 and things may have changed since recording.
Note: Due to some technical difficulties, the Minister joined the webinar a few minutes late, so we’ll pick up from when he joined the conversation.
