Prime Minister Scott Morrison has revealed the huge economic cost of the school shutdown as he warns re-opening schools is crucial.

The Prime Minister has warned allowing children to go back to school is central to getting parents back to work today and even being productive when working from home.

Mr Morrison said the schools shutdown had impacted gross domestic product by an estimated three per cent. In retail services, there’s been a 1 per cent decline and 146,000 jobs. Just under 120,000 in construction jobs, and around 108,000 in arts and recreation services jobs.

he has done many good things, but certainly this is not agreed by most of us

ScottMorrisonMP you keep saying kids don’t covid. Now you say there will be cases. What’s the deal? Stop confusing people. Open parliament. “Working from home” is not working for you

If it’s such an economic cost it’s a wonder they allow school holidays.

Many schools still haven't received the soap or hand sanitizer they were promised. Are staff & students going to have their temperatures tested? How are staff going to social distance from each other in tiny staffrooms & bathrooms? Whats the plan & where are the details?

'he warns re-opening schools is crucial.' But we'll keep the heart and backbone of the economy, aka the workers of Australia under house arrest, and on the dole. Definitely no hidden agenda here. ControlledEconomicDemolition GovernmentIsTheVirus CentralBanksAreTheVirus

Is that pictorial relevant?

Damned you do damned you don't -- health or economy? I think health is more precious than wealth, don't you?

Hmm has nothing to do with health rather economic. When Morrison sends his kids back to school we know it’s safe
