Wow, I am in the wrong country for sure! Here in Oz being retired, I get an additional $550 a fortnight for up to 6 months, and we are still not sure if that is per couple or per person. If you are a self employed person and your business was closed by the government due to the current issues. You can go on employment benefits of about $510 plus some minor extras for essentials i.e. electricity . Plus you get the $550 extra as well, but that's it. If you still have some income then you get it pro-rata of the above amount, plus you spouse gets $510 as well per fortnight.

Also, since I am in Tasmania, the southern most state, Just found out ANYONE, wanting to enter the state has to go into an isolation station for two weeks. There are two - one in the north of the state and one in the south. That's even if you have a house or family here to go to.

And if you have a mobile home, that has to sit while you are incarcerated in one of these isolation sites.
