Earlier today Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas revealed Victoria's budget is expected to run a $7.5 billion deficit for the 2019/20 financial year.
"The coronavirus pandemic has really prompted a worldwide recession," Mr Pallas told reporters.
"That is, of course, as a result of both social distancing arrangements that impact upon business, the closure of national borders ... closure of state borders, as well as dwindling demand for Victoria's key export sectors."
