James Paterson, Liberal Senator for Victoria & Deputy Chair of Select Committee on COVID-19, joins Michael to discuss his opinion piece in The Australian, where he calls to heed the lessons of history to kick-start the economy after the coronavirus…. noting the parallels between wartime restrictions and the restrictions currently in place.

 

“The lesson of history is that emergency measures in times of crises are unsustainable in normal times. The present measures should be wound back when the pandemic is over”, Senator Paterson writes.
