Retail Doctor Group CEO Brian Walker says he supports Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s decision to reinstate the Pandemic Leave Disaster Payments.
“We live right now in a very difficult situation around staff shortages, skill shortages in retail – as in many other sectors,” he told Sky News host Erin Molan.
“We see a rising cost of living, cost of unemployment, inflation and so forth.
“So all this leads us to believe that a modified safety net … is a reasonable course of action.”
