If the government didn't spend money, 'millions would be unemployed'

Описание: Sky News host Paul Murray says if the government didn’t spend money, millions of people would be unemployed.

Mr Frydenberg handed down the federal government’s budget on Tuesday night, which confirmed Australia's large and unprecedented debt deficit.

Mr Murray said the bumper sticker at the heart of this “is to make sure as many people as possible can hold on by their fingernails and then turn that fingernail grip into one where they can start to lift themselves up on the monkey bars and eventually get back into the game.”

“The alternative is businesses shut and millions of people, especially those over the age of forty who will never return to the workforce," he said.
