Victoria's lockdown is costing the Australian state $400 million a day.
Melbourne has been under severe restrictions since early August with the rest of Victoria facing lighter measures.
There are nearly 3000 Covid-19 cases spread out across the region and 524 people have died.
Australian correspondent Steve Price told Mike Hosking Premier Daniel Andrews is being criticised for not offering a pathway out.
"If you're running a business you didn't say 'we'll put this business into hibernation', you need a date
"Is it going to be October, November, are you going to open up before Christmas?"
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has seen his approval rating drop several points in the latest Newspoll.
The Coalition and Opposition are locked at 50 points each in a two-party preferred poll, while Morrison has seen his popularity drop to 64 per cent, while maintaining 58 per cent in the preferred Prime Minister stakes.
