Businesses will receive a fortnightly wage subsidy up to $1,500 per employee as part of a Federal Government bid to prevent millions of people from losing their jobs to the coronavirus pandemic.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he expected 6 million Australians would access a so-called JobKeeper payment for the next six months. The Prime Minister also announced changes to the income test for people on the JobSeeker payment, meaning their partners could earn almost $80,000 a year before they were ineligible for the payment.
Still nothing for employees on temp work visas.
Why not just repeal company tax, income tax and payroll tax for 12 months so people have access to more private cash. The govt wouldn't have to spend a cent to allow businesses to recover
And what about carers and people on DSP? They struggle on low payments on a daily basis but I don’t see any help for them in the current situation?
There’s a coronavirus app on App Store or google play
So we are officially a socialist state? I thought USSR fell because they were not a liberal free market capitalist?
Thankyou
The common cold affects the respiratory system . They seem to often fill in the numbers with coronavirus ( the common cold many of us have had ) and not the new strain of covid19. I’d be checkup my doc records to see if says C virus OR covid19?
Yesterday I had no trouble looking up the corona family viruses . But today google appears to have shut up shop. Everytime I tried coronavirus, it took me to covid19. Finally found it with difficulty in very small writing . WHY. Coronavirus family includes common colds .
Chinese are just looking to kill small business to by up everything now
