Penbo said during Tuesday\u2019s Breaking @ 8 segment:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had a chat off air this morning to the Premier Steven Marshall. Later today he is going to be making an announcement about whether he is still going to head off to the United States this week. He\u2019s meant to be going tomorrow and this is part of a trade mission. These things are hugely important for the state\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe premier\u2019s told us he\u2019s going to be making a decision today. He says that it\u2019s a tough one. We can\u2019t just stick our economy on the backburner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s people here who can run the show in his absence but the big consideration for him I guess will be, in light of the old Aloha moment the prime minister had during the bushfires, whether the voters have a baseline expectation that at a time of such uncertainty he needs to be here with both hands on the wheel.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
On Tuesday morning the entire country of Italy was placed in lockdown as the country battles coronavirus.<\/p>\n
