Speaking to reporters after today's National Cabinet, Mr Morrison said Australia had flattened its coronavirus curve, allowing the government to drop restrictions earlier than expected.

"Australians have earned an early mark," he said.

Mr Morrison said the National Cabinet would meet twice over the next week before announcing relaxed restrictions next Friday.
