"They there were to support business and to support Australians through the initial phases of the crisis," Mr Cormann said."Businesses would be expected to pay the wages of their employees out of income rather than on the basis of taxpayer-funded support."About 900,000 businesses have been supported by JobKeeper, including three and a half million Australians, he said."The unemployment rate has been starting to come down again.

"At this stage we have extended the enhanced JobSeeker arrangement and coronavirus supplement at a lower rate to the end of this year. We will continue to assess all the economic data, we will assess the speed with which jobs are being restored and the economy continues to recover and later in the year we will be making further judgments if and as required."

"We want those state borders to be opened as soon as that can safely be done and certainly to have a growing number of doctors making that point obviously is very welcome.

‘Hundreds of thousands of jobs to return by Christmas’: PMPrime Minister Scott Morrison has backed the controversial decision to cut its coronavirus welfare payments next week, saying he expects “hundreds of thousands” of jobs to return before Christmas.
