Australia's economy goes down under with record, virus-led slump
Al Jazeera, 02 Sep 2020
Australia's economy has sunk into recession for the first time in nearly 30 years.
The coronavirus slowdown caused its worst quarterly downturn on record between April and June.
Pressure is building on state governments to ease border restrictions that are hampering recovery efforts, and also to allow thousands of Australians stranded overseas to return home.
