Emergency support "imminent" for struggling Sydney businesses facing extended lockdown

NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian says a deal on emergency support for Sydney businesses hit by the lockdown is "imminent" and could be announced in the coming days. 

Special support comes amid confusion about why some businesses remain open as "essential" while shoppers are order not to browse when they go out. 

COSBOA interim chief executive tells ABC's Peter Ryan that mixed messages from the NSW government are confusing businesses.
