145. Mr A. KRSTICEVIC to the Deputy Premier:
I have a supplementary question. I thank
the Deputy Premier for that response. The not-for-profit sector is already at
breaking point prior to the coronavirus. How is the sector meant to provide
services to the aged, the homeless and the vulnerable if the pandemic plan is
triggered?

That is why we are working closely
with all our partners. We all work hard in the community. For many of us,
business as usual is a tough day at the office, and that is why it is important
that, as a community, we will respond to the COVID-19 virus. Whether it is our
friends and partners in the not-for-profit sector, whether it is our teachers
working in our education sector, whether it is doctors and nurses working on
the front line who will be receiving many of the patients who are impacted by
COVID-19, we are in this together; we have to work together and make sure that,
as a community, we get through it together.
