Labor will sharpen its attacks on the federal government's $70 billion wage subsidy scheme on Tuesday as voters of Eden-Monaro, in south-west NSW, prepare to head to the polls this weekend.
Mr Chalmers will continue to heap pressure on the government to release a review into JobKeeper, completed last week by Treasury Secretary Steven Kennedy, instead of "keeping Australians in the dark" until after the by-election.About 4800 businesses and organisations in Eden-Monaro, employing about 18,000 workers, are estimated to be currently accessing the JobKeeper wage subsidy of $1500 a fortnight, paid by the federal government.
The scheme ends on September 27 but could be extended for those sectors most affected by COVID-19. Mr Kennedy handed the report to Treasurer Josh Frydenberg late on Friday, four days ahead of his deadline."Businesses are already laying off workers because of the uncertainty this delay is creating.
rharris334 Jobkeeker for permanent casuals r too high n Jobseeker is way too much “ many employees “refused to come back” because the $1,500 fortnightly payment – or about $1,300 after tax – made it “not worth coming back to work”.”
