Australia suffers from worst recession in 30 years as coronavirus recovery begins

Coronavirus has done to Australia what even the global financial crisis couldn’t: abruptly end a record growth run and help trigger a deep recession from which the country will take time to recover.While Australia has had great success so far in heading off the pandemic, with just over 100 deaths, the cure of shutting out the rest of the world means massive hits to three key growth drivers — tourism, education and immigration.Fiona Gulin was 18 when the last recession hit Australia in the early 1990s.
