Greens leader AdamBandt says Australia is “at risk of going into a recession and the government needs to take a stimulus package seriously” amid a predicted hit to growth due to the coronavirus.

Greens leader Adam Bandt says Australia is “at risk of going into a recession and the government needs to take a stimulus package seriously” amid a predicted hit to growth due to the coronavirus. The Treasury said it expected coronavirus will have a significant impact on the nation’s economy and growth by at least 0.5 percent in the March quarter. Mr Bandt told Sky News the Morrison Government needs “to get its hand on the steering wheel” amid increasing concerns about the spread of the virus.

“The Greens are prepared to play hardball in the Senate to ensure Australia is kept out of recession with a bottom-up transparent approach," he said. “If we don’t have measures for those living hand-to-mouth we could not only potentially make inequality worse, we could hasten the spread of the virus,” he said. “The disaster recovery allowance should be extended to people without paid sick leave who are impacted by the coronavirus.

AdamBandt Spoken like a true communist.

AdamBandt says a man with zero economics knowledge or training 🤦‍♀️

AdamBandt Opinion from the Greens on fiscal mgt 🤣🤣🤣

AdamBandt AdamBandt We all know what you have your hand on pal and it is not the steering wheel. You should NEVER be aloud to put your hand on any steering wheel. Australia spoke at the last election. Now, be a good little communist and go quietly into the woods.

AdamBandt Well, yes. Totally heading for a recession... if we follow any of AdamBandt policies.

AdamBandt Which people are going to be stimulated by this? I wonder if the sports clubs have been saturated with enough handouts. We have about 2,500 homes destroyed by fire over summer...what's happening there?

AdamBandt Is Adam blaming the Corona Virus on climate change also ? Onya Adam your a star !

AdamBandt For a sneak peak at socialism go buy toilet rolls right now. Ohhhh none on the shelf? That’s what socialism is all about and that’s what Adam wants for you. Awesome hey but availability of products won’t just stop at toilet paper.

AdamBandt No lips communist socialist Bandt. Nothing good ever comes out of that slit in his face

AdamBandt Both the greens and labour are wankers. They are both willing to send the country back into the Stone Age with their ridiculous policies and are now wanting the GOVERNMENT to have stimulus packages because they don’t want a recession due to COVID-19. Are these wankers for real?

AdamBandt No Adam,the government should start governing and stop spending monies, improve small businesses and improve trades jobs and much more.

AdamBandt He's spot on.

AdamBandt The day we take any notice of Greens advice on the economy is the day we just leave.

AdamBandt God what a sick puppy this rat is.

AdamBandt LOL the Govt is not going to take advice on the economy from a Communist.

AdamBandt Stop 🛑 mentioning his name he’s getting swollen headed 🤔💭

AdamBandt Why does he think we want to hear his opinion?

AdamBandt L O L

AdamBandt Tosser

AdamBandt Bandt wouldn't know shit from clay

AdamBandt Would assist to lift welfare benefits to poverty levels, to eliminate poverty.

AdamBandt Economic activity is done by private industry & some state enterprises. Govt has ramped up, rest is up to private business & individuals. Virus containment hits tourism/hospitality, quarantine could be used to buffer & business could give 2 extra wks of holidays to compensate.

AdamBandt He’s about as relevant as greta

AdamBandt Simpleton

AdamBandt LNP have never handled the economy well. Surplus is never a good thing contrary to propaganda claims.

AdamBandt Nothings new,’this is the recession we had to have ‘ after the multitude of ‘indiscretions’ by the PARLIAMENT,the HAND that provides was not happy. To show who actually is the BOSS we are facing such trial and tribulations to make see the LIGHT that brings Life . Pray for Grace!

AdamBandt -The Scott Morrison govt has already passed major tax cuts - The economy was already tanking before bushfires & Coronavirus, which haven't hit it yet - Morrison will pass more tax cuts which will again go mostly to the well off - The economy will be in an even bigger hole

AdamBandt If it's one things that The Greens know about it's a recession.

AdamBandt The greens Absolutely the very last people to be listening too. chickenlittle the lot of them auspol

AdamBandt Go back down your wombat hole & eat some roots & leaves.

AdamBandt What a brainless flog 👌

AdamBandt Well aleast he has one vote leader of himself

AdamBandt I’ll use my stimulus payment to buy loo paper

AdamBandt zoolander bandit

AdamBandt It’s all under control. Go away little man.

AdamBandt If the media across the board, and the politicians stopped hyping up the over hyped virus scenario, there would be no problems. Why aren't you all 24/7 rinse and repeat about the flu deaths and those effect from that. It's exponentially worse than this cold virus.

AdamBandt Communist

AdamBandt What would he know about it? He's an idiot

AdamBandt He's right, time to build more coal power stations to help stimulate the economy.

AdamBandt Adam Expert

AdamBandt That makes me wonder what the stimulus money is really for and who is really goes to.

AdamBandt Hands-on the steering wheel, except when this fool is on the roadway

AdamBandt So the wise has spoken😩

AdamBandt Aren't we glad a Lib/Nat govt is behind the wheel during a stimulus handout? Meanwhile Mr Bandt has his hands on the horn of his Green New Deal unicorn.

AdamBandt Here comes Captain Obvious.

AdamBandt Coronavirus is the excuse, worldwide and personal debt is the reason. This knucklehead has no idea.

AdamBandt Pity he doesn’t come to the fore & help instead of bagging/blaming everything from Coal to the PM.!! Why not Do something ‘Productive’? Or doesn’t that fit with your agenda? !!

AdamBandt Why is this political imposter ever asked his opinion on anything

AdamBandt The Greens leader wouldn't know what a stimulus package is.

AdamBandt Too nuch govt is bad for our health and to much health is bad for the govt!

AdamBandt But nobody takes this idiot seriously

AdamBandt We’re f’ed here, too!

AdamBandt This is rich coming from Adam who’s agenda is to dismantle the Australian economy with the green new deal and Pushing a climate hoax. I doubt he really cares for the unemployed. But he does care about votes. Disaster reliefs a given. Stimulus is a science not an opinion

AdamBandt This guy is a meaningless nut who gets way too much media. Would be much better if he chained himself to tree

AdamBandt Brought to you by the dickhead who would have us waiting in bread lines.

AdamBandt Adam Ant needs to get his hand off it.

AdamBandt Better to give me my tax cut now. I’ll spend it. I promise..

AdamBandt 1 - who cares what the lunatic says 2- stimulus will cause more debt 3- we need to manufactute more , therefore we need to reduce power costs. 4- stop immigration until the unemployment rate is 2% or under 5- stop selling our assets, farms, businesses to o/s interests

says the man who does more than most to ensure the nation's wealth remains untapped and living expenses for ordinary everyday Aussies continue to climb. 'Hypocrite' seems inadequate. RealMarkLatham

AdamBandt Did he actually say hand on the steering wheel? Not hold the reins? Naughty to promote cars over horseback.

AdamBandt And Greta Bandt should be listened to because?

AdamBandt Ah our resident guru economist has spoken, the same bloke who demands that we break the country with his ideologically based demands that we destroy our energy sources, incur a massive debt in so doing and refuses to discuss nuclear energy - what a saviour he is !

AdamBandt Parasites always want to spend other people’s money.

AdamBandt Eradicate you and your mutants would help
