RBA Governor Lowe has recently lifted his outlook for the economy a little, encouraged by the success at getting the virus under control in Australia (although the recent outbreak in Australia's second largest city is a set back he has not spoken on yet) and the steps being taken to reopen the economy.

I suspect Debelle will be similarly cautiously upbeat although his role as deputy is often to lean a little more 'bad cop'.

AUD has hung in relatively well overnight in the face of USD strength (ForexLive Americas FX news wrap: Dollar starts the week strong). Negativity from Debelle might test that.
