The global Covid-19 pandemic has seen a spike in traffic to news websites, with Guardian Australia experiencing the biggest surge in the Australian market. Guardian Australia doubled its unique audience in March and moved up from seventh to fourth place, according to the Nielsen digital content ratings. The coronavirus reporting, which includes two of the most popular pages on the site – a daily liveblog and data tracker, has boosted Guardian Australia up the rankings ahead of the Daily Mail (fifth), nine.com.au (sixth) and the Sydney Morning Herald (seventh).
Lenore Taylor, editor of Guardian Australia, said that incredible audience growth demonstrates high levels of trust. “I’m proud and delighted that 11.6 million Australians have put their trust in Guardian Australia’s journalism at this time,” says Taylor. Coalition expects coronavirus to send Australia's unemployment soaring to 10% The federal government is bracing for 10% unemployment when jobless figures for the June quarter are released, almost twice the level of 5.1% recorded in February before the fight against the coronavirus closed businesses and pushed workers out of jobs.
But the government is already is arguing the jobs disaster for the three months to June could have been more like 15%. The only thing stopping this was the $130bn jobkeeper scheme passed by parliament last week to subsidise the wages of staff kept in employment. The shock workforce deterioration will be foreshadowed by the latest figures for the March quarter to be released this week. The treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, confirmed on Monday night the 10% rate was expected. “In the absence of the $130bn jobkeeper payments, Treasury estimates the unemployment rate would be five percentage points higher and would peak at around 15%,” Frydenberg said in a statement. 'A downward spiral': coronavirus spins Australian universities into economic crisis. Australia’s university sector says it faces economic catastrophe and massive job losses unless it receives more help from the government during the coronavirus crisis.
It is begging the federal government to immediately extend interest-free loans, as institutions – large and small – devise plans to slash hundreds of millions of dollars from their 2020 budgets in anticipation that foreign student income will dry up in the second semester. Education is Australia’s third-biggest export industry; at stake are up to 21,000 jobs, $23bn in export income and Australia’s hard-won reputation as a top destination for foreign students. Universities have also warned their economic woes will ricochet through other parts of the economy as they put construction projects on hold in a bid to preserve cash. The University of New South Wales vice-chancellor, Ian Jacobs, says the crisis is “immediate”. “So there is a real immediate crisis.” An issue of cash flow Students still need teaching An uncertain future. Coronavirus schools guide: Closures and return dates for schools in all states across Australia for term two.
As the Easter holidays come to a close for some states, students and parents are now turning their minds to how Term 2 will look at their schools.
Each state and territory is slightly different across Australia – here's what to expect. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says schools in New South Wales will remain open, but has encouraged parents to keep their children at home to contain the spread of coronavirus. All schools in NSW will provide online learning options for the remaining three weeks of term one, and while it remains unclear what the majority of Australians will decide upon schools' commencement, classes are due to resume on April 27.
The Premier said no child would be turned away from a NSW public school during the health crisis. "For parents that have no option, for parents that are workers, school is safe for children to attend and schools will remain open," she said. This means that from the start of Term 2 all students who can learn from home must learn at home. Coronavirus Australia update: The latest number of cases in each state and territory. Australia now has 6,394 coronavirus cases.
That’s an increase of fewer than 50 in the past 24 hours and a sign that the curve continues to flatten. However, state and territory health authorities have warned to read the figures cautiously, saying lower rates of testing over the Easter weekend correlate with fewer confirmed cases. Further causing concern is the number of cases related to community transmission, which is about 8.3 per cent. The graph below shows the number of cases of COVID-19 in Australia from the date of the first infection. New South Wales has 2,870 coronavirus cases and 26 deaths.
