The Prime Minister said JobKeeper was created and estimates about its spread made by Treasury at a time of "incredible uncertainty".Mr Morrison said future taxpayers would be better off because JobKeeper, funded with borrowed money, would not cost as much.
While saying there appeared to be far fewer people on JobKeeper than originally estimated, Mr Morrison revealed there was an "elevated" number of people on JobSeeker. Its finance spokeswoman Katy Gallagher said Mr Frydenberg, who had claimed credit for the size and scope of the government's response to the coronavirus, needed to be upfront about what went wrong with the JobKeeper estimates."It goes straight to the heart of his credibility and competence and I would have thought he would have welcomed an opportunity where he is given the opportunity and a platform to explain what went wrong and what the government is doing about it.
swrighteconomy Was $130b Jobkeeper designed and approved by Labor/Coalition National Cabinet amidst crisis time? Did somebody, as expected audit the programme and checked the numbers and applicants? Did they find illegitimate applications? Was $130b paid out? Yes...No?
swrighteconomy Morrison's problem is he listens to Jesus not the people who collectively make him up :). A good politician must have big ears and a small mouth.
swrighteconomy “Like the cost of building a house coming in much cheaper than expected” So, are they wondering which corners were cut, or if the slab had rio in it?
swrighteconomy By not paying the contractors?
swrighteconomy Immense saving, albeit inadvertently. Will save $Millions of the Debt for future generations.!
swrighteconomy Builder: we saved you 47 percent of the bill, also you have no roof
swrighteconomy while the house is cheaper , it's not what anyone but the builder wants to live in ! !
swrighteconomy Accepts responsibility when he plays down any responsibility needed.
swrighteconomy That means we will never get an explanation or,if we do, it Will be a big fat lie
swrighteconomy So would that make sports rorts like bribing the local council to get the houses building approvals through?
swrighteconomy Because they built the house with enough room for only half the family!!! - Ultimate Responsibility for a $60B mistake but no consequences?
swrighteconomy Find me a builder that finishes on less than 100% over their quote is . but PM is correct, it’s good news albeit Australian business owner and ATO can’t add up.
swrighteconomy It's not such a bad analogy. Good news should always be welcome, but for some reason so many are disappointed the original figure was not correct.
swrighteconomy I am not aware of any house that is being or has been built to have ever come under budget. ScottyFromMarketting is trying to sound like an average bloke. No champ you’re just a smirking fool that cannot be trusted with the economy.
swrighteconomy Could have built 2 houses. Or drawn the line for assistance more broadly. Remember this voters.
swrighteconomy
swrighteconomy So...likening a gigantic stuff up to something that has never happened in human history. Right.
swrighteconomy So we should live in a donger?
swrighteconomy Why does he always have to dumb it down? We understand $60bn in payments not made to people who need it, thanks very much. So over this lot spinning their incompetence
swrighteconomy ScoMo is ok. The tax office gave him the numbers. For god's sake, get OFF HIS BACK and let him do the damn job.
swrighteconomy It's like the cost of building a house coming in cheaper because the kids stuffed up the paperwork and ended up with no carpet, walls, ceiling, power, etc. in their bedrooms.
swrighteconomy Like building a house is going to come in almost half under budget . 🤔
swrighteconomy So Smirko may I please have the details of the builder who will construct a house for $100k under budget. Whilst you’re at it can I please have the mobile number of Elvis, the Easter bunny and the abominable snowman. auspol
swrighteconomy I can’t believe that Morrison admission that the financial disaster was his responsibility .He must have been having a Damascus morning. Did Hillsong have any part in this conversion?
swrighteconomy Nobody ever builds a house 50% cheaper that expected. Any builder who did that would be criminally negligent. The house doesnt have a bathroom, kitchen or roof. This project is a complete ballsup. Just like everything else Morrison touches.
swrighteconomy Took him a few days to work that bit of spin out!
swrighteconomy scottyfommarketing and JoshyfromAccounts
swrighteconomy Can just a couple of these businesses come forward and show where they put the wrong figures in. X 1000 doesn't seem plausible if it was a pissy claim through centre link they would be all over it.
swrighteconomy When did that happen ever for anyone. Bullshit man spin on the run
swrighteconomy yeah and like a shoddy house it doesn't pass inspection when the ceiling falls in and the hot water fails along with the electricity atleast we will be cooking with gas ScottyfromMarketing
swrighteconomy When does building a house come in under budget? And by what percent of the estimated cost? And what do you say to the builder if you go to see it and it's just a tin shed?
swrighteconomy The house is cheaper but half of your children are sleeping in the backyard. auspol 60bnLNPstuffup
swrighteconomy Govt JobKeeper bungle biggest ever Govt bungle Hmm? Bureaucrats bungled JobKeeper numbers, Morrison get the blame, Hmm?
swrighteconomy Dear ScottyFromMarketing , The house is only half price bc there r only two walls and there’s no roof, just like ur policy has left thousands in need behind.
swrighteconomy Good on him for owning it. There a hundreds of public servants that built these numbers.
swrighteconomy I Accept responsibility that i was saddled with an ATO blunder of massive proportions, Best Claytons Accountability Ive ever seen , if it where not for the Fact The registration came after the mis calculations, and no one was monitoring the wheel , just a rudderless titanic
swrighteconomy Yeah, and let's say the house needed to build it - 6 million. Then, you rushed on the work, cut corners cut your staff to 3 million, which meant 3 million people and thier families were unemployed.
swrighteconomy Yep opal tower springs to mind , the contractor reduced costs
swrighteconomy my husband is a registered building practitioner and any builder who came in 40% under a quote needs to never be allowed near a building site or a tender process again. Scott can take his ridiculous analogies and shove them in his back pocket.
swrighteconomy so Scott's resigning effective tomorrow morning? Along with Joshy? Excellent news! eleventy - take two.
swrighteconomy Do journalists not learn to critique or interpret information given to them? They regurgitate the PMs marketing and propaganda verbatim. What does taking responsibility sound like? It is certainly not the lies and deflection offered up to us.
swrighteconomy scomomustgo
swrighteconomy It's like when you get your house built and only pay half the contractors and then think you've done a good job.
swrighteconomy So if your builder manages to build your house for half the price you budgeted for, would you be stoked, and take it as a “win” and shut up? Or think that’s a bit on the nose, and want a few more answers as to what this guy actually knows about building houses?
swrighteconomy If he had accepted responsibility, then he should quit. That isn't his money.
swrighteconomy takes responsibility for this which will earn him barely a slap, but refuses responsibility for the sportsrorts , angusgate and the notational bushfire relief
swrighteconomy Geez. I’d worry about my builder if his quote was that far out. How will he know his angles, how many screws, how to make doors that fit, order enough roof tiles. Etc etc. and we pay these people to do these jobs. The carpenter/ master builder would have been sacked.
swrighteconomy That’s good but we need an investigation so that this kind of ‘estimate’ doesn’t occur again.
swrighteconomy FFS
swrighteconomy Would anyone else in Australian politics have the chutzpah to try to pass off an astounding $60bn miscalculation as an 'administrative error'?🤔💪🍒 auspol
swrighteconomy Like building a house that comes in cheaper- but you forgot the bathroom and kitchen auspol JobKeeper
swrighteconomy More money now for Sportsrort .
swrighteconomy What is wrong with this paper? Why are you so soft on SM? You would have eviscerated Albo if this happened on his watch.
swrighteconomy Well done keep up the good work. Better than exceeding the budget by billions
swrighteconomy Unless he's resigned he's taken no responsibility at all
swrighteconomy Is this a good thing when the house falls down through shoddy workmanship?
swrighteconomy 🤮
swrighteconomy Maybe a bit like winning 77 seats at an election when in reality, it should been about 50 seats? auspol
swrighteconomy Surprised he didn’t role out a long curry analogy.
swrighteconomy He has shortchanged the economic support for Australian by almost halving the amount committed to the support of Australians, excluding many from support, and refusing to help more, while trying to open the economy earlier to save money, and you kid glove them auspol
swrighteconomy If Morrison had really accepted responsibility for this why didn't he resign? A $60 billion mistake should result in serious consequences but Morrison gets off ScottFree !!!
swrighteconomy Like building a house with 1 less bedroom than people in his family. Turns out there is a $60B accounting error in his favour and now he can afford to build a bedroom for all of his family. Wait... or not
swrighteconomy And when has that EVER happened. Sounds like fantasy.
swrighteconomy A house budget is not the Australian government budget. 60 BILLION dollars will not be spent. What will this mean for businesses? Instead of 30% closing forever, will this mean 50% will close? The estimate was out by nearly 50% for ~ 6 weeks. incompetent
swrighteconomy Accepting responsibility usually comes with consequences.
swrighteconomy These sort of analogies are absurd when talking about a government that is in control of it's own money supply. There is no 'surplus/deficit'. The government has as much money as it needs to fund everyone through the covidcrisis and invest heavily into renewables and evs.
swrighteconomy Oh by the way WHERE DID THE MONEY GO ScottMorrisonMP
swrighteconomy What another bungle.... nothing big ya reckon.... Just $60B bungle....REALLY..... WWG1WGA WWG1WGA_WORLDWIDE WWG1WGAWORLDWIDE AussiesRising AussieQ
swrighteconomy So he's resigned then? ScottMorrisonMP must resign of he says he takes responsibility for the biggest financial error in the country's history. JoshFrydenberg must resign as well. What difference does $60,000,000,000 to the market or markets? Neither of them is fit for office
swrighteconomy yet he is willing for hundreds of thousands of ppl to end up in debt and lose houses so their children's future are ruined
swrighteconomy If ScottyFromMarketing was working for private enterprise he’d get the sack for that
swrighteconomy bullshit analogue LNPincompetence
swrighteconomy I would sack a house building contractor who would make such an error in costing.. it would be a sign of gross incompetence & amateurish consultation.. just like ScottMorrisonMP
swrighteconomy I guess we could have had a bathroom after all.
swrighteconomy It is nothing like that at all, how stupid is Scott Morrison?
swrighteconomy All had to do was accept blame, say that in the rush to get it out some things could have been done better. Will think about what the money could be spent on and let everyone know the decision at a later date. End. No folksy stories.
swrighteconomy If Under budget people are heavily criticising for being incapable. What’s wrong with an Over Budget? It means the current Government is very careful and now we have an extra 60 billions to spend. 👍😂.
swrighteconomy But if you actually want the roof and cladding, as well as the services connected, well, there's nothing left for that. Had to draw the line somewhere.
swrighteconomy I want Morrison’s Fictional Builder, obviously he has never built a house !!!! NO - the Costs are more likely to INCREASE !!!
swrighteconomy He tells lies to cover his lies He tells lies to cover his lies He tells lies to cover his lies He tells lies to cover his lies He tells lies to cover his lies He tells lies to cover his lies He tells lies to cover his lies Thats how Scott Morrison rolls He tells lies to lie.
swrighteconomy Really the worst analogy I've seen. Makes no sense... And would have never happened in any construction project unless you are doing a drastic scope reduction which I would say the Government is doing.
swrighteconomy No responsibility for sportsrorts though? I guess he is only the chief administrator of the incumbent, ie the 'prime' minister, so how would he know what final decisions are being made by by his own cabinet?
swrighteconomy This is not a blame game. Good on you Scott for throwing yourself under the bus but the Government tried to help get money to people who needed it. someone or some people made a mistake so be it. Let’s just say everyone is trying to help let it go and just keep trying to help.
swrighteconomy You didn’t have to Scomo, intelligent people understand the public service in an unheralded rush made an error but we also understand $60 billion Australians don’t have to pay back is a great thing for the country
swrighteconomy Your not really all there are you Scott...
swrighteconomy thehousethatscottbuilt
swrighteconomy Ok, look, the house came in cheaper than expected, but it only has room for half the family, and the rest are left outside in the cold. We needed a bigger house!
swrighteconomy Think he means a bridge that collapsed!
swrighteconomy And without a roof, kitchen, bathroom or toilet. You know, those things that actually make it a house. Auspol JobKeeper jobkeepergate
swrighteconomy ScottMorrisonMP only provides help for the Rich... Fire victims still waiting to receive help.
swrighteconomy Grandstand from the Lefties!
swrighteconomy Houses are always cheaper when you burn them down in bushfires then dont deliver allocated funding to rebuild them...
swrighteconomy
swrighteconomy 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
swrighteconomy This guy is as thick as two short planks, can't compare this to a house build, what happened is nothing like that, pure and simple massive error made, no wonder he was asked to leave (sacked ?) from his last real job, couldn't do the costings correctly. Walking disaster.
swrighteconomy And if it were to cost more to keep this program, would he be so heroic in coming forward?
swrighteconomy Has anyone never heard of the cost coming in lower than expected - assuming the whole house was finished and all the fittings to the standard budgeted for? That is the dumbest analogy 🤣 He is an utter fool.
swrighteconomy This morning's parable for us, the illiterate unwashed voters.
swrighteconomy Especially when you leave the windows and doors off the house. More people should have been given assistance.
swrighteconomy Yeah well if you're happy with only half a house I guess.
swrighteconomy Imaging the quality of the build if your new house came in at 40% under budget $60,000,000,000.00 is a FuckUp from the alleged MoneyManagers Time to SackTheTreasurer his pencil is broken & he doesn't have enough fingers to count Have you checked AngusTaylors CaymanBankAcc
swrighteconomy Yeah right. Using Morrison's analogy it's like projecting the cost of building a two-storey house and then getting handed the keys to a single storey house at the end and saying how good are we, we saved money. FFS
swrighteconomy Because they didn’t pay half the workers ……”because”!
swrighteconomy Shut up ScottyFromMarketing auspol
swrighteconomy That doesn't sound like accepting the blame.
swrighteconomy How can he compare it to something that virtually never ever happens?
swrighteconomy Yeah, because they are not going to pay all the casual, university and arts contractors who worked on the 'house'.thanks LNP
swrighteconomy The money pit?
swrighteconomy
swrighteconomy The house came in cheap, ‘cause we didn’t pay the sub contractors. Thousands of family businesses destroyed, but hey we saved money.
swrighteconomy It is good as we have to borrow LESS so less burden to everybody Why do we have to give away money that we borrowed to bailout foreign temp workers n int students? Just too stupid The bailout'd go to pay uni fees
swrighteconomy Building a house that comes UNDER budget. He really does believe in miracles.
swrighteconomy Oh? So he’s going to resign?
swrighteconomy Houses are so often cheaper by 40% than the initial contract price/estimate.
swrighteconomy
swrighteconomy Takes two seconds to find where he committed to $130b.
swrighteconomy
swrighteconomy Is he building Angus Taylor's house?
swrighteconomy
swrighteconomy When a house comes in under budget, it's that a sign that corners have been cut? If Sydney teaches us anything, it's to check concrete quality.
swrighteconomy Who in Sydney has ever had a house built cheaper than expected? And can I get the phone-numbers of their architect and builder?
swrighteconomy Hey you dinguses at , he hasn't 'accepted ultimate responsibility' if he's trying to slime his way out of this debacle like that.
swrighteconomy But the house is missing 2 bedrooms and the kitchen
swrighteconomy If your house build comes in with that amount of under spend, then you're probably going to sue the builder at some point.
swrighteconomy Yes, but the house also has no indoor door plumbing, no kitchen and no fences to keep out the waves of impoverished people about to knock on the unfinished screen door to ask for some kind of assistance.
swrighteconomy Key periden on I completely fix
swrighteconomy Anyone in the construction industry knows that NEVER happens 😂
swrighteconomy Oh that’s good, is he going to take a cut in salary as a result ?
swrighteconomy spin ScottyfromMarketing
swrighteconomy You’ve got to be kidding!!! Because you cheated on the foundations the house is cheaper ScottMorrisonMP ? I just can’t!
swrighteconomy He seems to be getting stupider.
swrighteconomy When the F does that ever happen?! Was this quote from the ScottyFromMktg account?
swrighteconomy I need to renovate Scomo, please advise of the builders who will come under cost they quoted Without the house collapsing later
swrighteconomy Accepting responsibility, you say? Tell that to the people who lost their houses in the bushfires and who are STILL waiting for financial support.
swrighteconomy I've been thinking really hard, and I can't recall anyone know building a house that was costed at $130 billion and it came in at only $60 billion.
swrighteconomy Tell me when a house comes in cheaper than expected? I’ve renovated a bathroom, added a shower and toilet to the laundry, renovated lounge room/kitchen. Never comes in under budget.
swrighteconomy Yep! Of course! I was going to build a house costing $1 Million, it ended up only costing $538,500! Always happens!
swrighteconomy This government protected Australians from this deadly virus in world class performance with solid discussion making, it only mistake during this process was rushed calculation aimed at protecting Australian Jobs. Lucky we have a sensible government spending our money.
swrighteconomy Except it was an economy rescuing package. A better analogy would be renovating / repairing an old house. Coming in under budget isn’t finishing the job!
swrighteconomy If he is taking responsibility will he be stepping down as PM? If not it's just more lip service.
swrighteconomy And you know why he is taking the blame, because he will not answer to anybody, and will shut down question time in Parliament.
swrighteconomy Taxpayers are concerned the 60$ billion bungle will mean not enough economic stimulus, which will hurt us all, especially those who shouldn't have missed out on jobkeeper
swrighteconomy So he should. Now CrimeMinisterMorrison should accept responsibility for breaking the law sportsrorts
swrighteconomy Is that the 'House' these dickheads sell each time they get into power to go on holidays? Our House? that we no longer own? Far Cough scummo, & far cough again.
swrighteconomy I don’t know of many houses that come under budget, let alone 60 BILLION dollars!
swrighteconomy The house might have been cheaper, but it didn't have running water, electricity, a working toilet, or enough room for the people it was promising to shelter. Another dud effort by ScottyFromMarketing and his inept team.
swrighteconomy Scott Morrison is a liar it's not an Overestimation is not a Bungle it's a Deliberate Lie,a he can make his choice did he Lie to us or are they Worse than labor with the economy?
swrighteconomy PM the man of promises ,$2BIL for FIRE VICTIMS $600MIL only ,$130 Bil for JOBSEEKER $70Bil only now claims Build HOUSE and it always comes in cheaper,Ha,just like our new NEW SUB COST BLOWN OUT ANOTHER $10BIL not even off the DRAWING BOARD,and WE TRUST THIS MAN ?
swrighteconomy No it’s really nothing like that all. Firstly I’ve done many Reno’s and they never come in under budget. Secondly you wouldn’t do a reno and forget to build a bathroom or kitchen, then pat yourself on the back for saving money. For fks sake we deserve better than this twaddle
swrighteconomy This is coal - don’t be afraid. Is now the right time to talk about climate change & our moral responsibility to reduce emissions & safeguard life? No committment to net zero if costs a single job was it Scotty? Disgusting Video; ScottyFromMarketting
swrighteconomy Because it hasn't got a roof for protection or doors to get in. I'd call that a wall. Reckon lots of casuals would agree. auspol
swrighteconomy 'All those people we said we'd help - they're mostly fucked. But think of the money we've saved'
swrighteconomy House without a roof and walls. Right? This inane, bland as porridge response is the best we can expect from a low IQ politician.
swrighteconomy No! This is a black hole in our economy. We thought I’d was flatlining but this means resuscitation will be pretty much impossible. Our economy is not a simple arithmetic exercise like building a house! This effects people’s lives and our social fabric auspol
swrighteconomy The house spin 🙄 BS I say
swrighteconomy What’s the problem this is good news
swrighteconomy Richard.
swrighteconomy Because you only paid half the builders!
swrighteconomy ScottyFromMarketting
swrighteconomy Yeah right. We saw what happened to houses when people started to build them cheaper. Opal Tower anyone? I don't think I'd be hiring Morrison as my builder, somehow. 'Yeah we can do it for you cheap, buddy.'
swrighteconomy The labor party and each way albo want to waste tax payers money on an inquiry into saving money... are these guys for real?.

'Misunderstood question' caused $60 billion JobKeeper estimate blunderA confusing question on the JobKeeper scheme enrolment form led the Australian Tax Office to overestimate the cost of the scheme by $60 billion and its coverage by 2.5 million workers. 9News How did a form not received by employers until late April cause the government to overestimate the cost of the scheme in late March? How is it a blunder? An over estimation is smart, better than under estimating. But then there would be no pleasing you, as you would have reported the blunder either way. Terrible reporting. This is a positive time. There is funds there now that can be allocated to other areas.
