A.  Overview

​The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, a profound economic impact on Australia.  Extensive legislative responses to that impact have been implemented across all Australian jurisdictions. 

Legislation has been made in the following areas, which are addressed in this section:
A.  Appropriations and financial assistance to the States.
B.  Audits.
C.  Economic support or stimulus.
D.  Social security.
E.  Superannuation. 
F.  Taxation.
G.  Insurance.

It is likely that disputes, requiring adjudication by courts and tribunals, will arise with respect to the interpretation and application of such legislative responses.
