Maleny cafe owner has called for a lockdown safety net.

A Sunshine Coast cafe owner has begun pushing for a safety net for businesses and workers affected by COVID-19 lockdowns.

Maleny’s Shotgun Espresso owner Kelly Robson said that her business and workers were hit hard by Brisbane’s snap lockdown last week.

Ms Robson urged the State Government to adopt a proposed COVID-19 Hotspot Recovery support package, which would offer up to twenty five thousand dollars in financial support if another lockdown occurs.
