Australia’s “first lady” Jenny Morrison said her husband Prime Minister Scott Morrison would “need a rest at some point” as he continues to work on the COVID-19 crisis.
In an interview with 9News, Mrs Morrison was asked how the PM was dealing with the stress of the situation in private.
“His mind doesn’t stop,” she said.
“He just works and works and works and works and works. I’m sure he’s going to need a rest at some point, he’ll need that, it’s huge.
“He amazes me, he really does, every day.”
She said for now the PM would just “push on” with “lots of work to get everything up and running”.
The pair and their daughters Abbey and Lilly have been staying at the PM’s official Canberra residence, The Lodge, along with the girls’ grandmothers since the COVID-19 rules were introduced six weeks ago.
“Having the kids home all the time and having the mothers there as well, and myself … You know, I think we all took some adjusting,” Mrs Morrison said.
“I think most families have had to do a lot adjusting to create their new normal at home. That’s been a good learning curve for us.”
The interview comes as states and territories announced plans to ease some restrictions starting this week.
