No, they're saying the are not planning any redundancies while they are in charge, and why would they? Over 8000 of the 9250ish employees are currently stood down being paid by the government and the remaining staff still working are having their wages subsidised by the government. By the time JobKeeper finishes and however many remaining stood down staff are actually looking at redundancy, Deloitte hopes to have sailed off into the sunset with their hundreds of millions.

The direction of the media is now that Deloitte are trying to retain as many jobs as possible in VA mk 2, that would mean they do see a requirement for redundancies yes?

She also said they're open to looking at a travel bubble with NT, ACT, SA and WA. Her "concern" with NSW and Vic is they are still having community transmission cases showing up where the other states appear to have that under control. These aren't big markets, but it is a start. I bet there's a heap of people in those states that will travel to QLD or between states if that's the only places they're allowed to go!
