Sky News host Peta Credlin runs through what the government's extensive $130 billion JobSeeker package will mean for everyday Australians, business-owners and employees. Businesses will be paid a fortnightly wage subsidy of up to $1,500 per employee if their turnover has decreased by at least 30 per cent due to the coronavirus crisis.
That $1,500 payment will be transferred to the employee as the government seeks to incentivise businesses to keep their employees on the books during the pandemic. "You couldn't pay me enough money to be the prime minister right now," Ms Credlin said. "He is dealing with an enormous crisis of the like we've never seen". "This truly is unprecedented".
Unless she spoke of the “Debt and Deficit Disaster” that will ensue, or apologised for her part in that chapter after the GFC, then any words that come from her mouth will continue to be nothing but propaganda.
Sick of it. Everyday, all day. bloody Covid 19. It goes on and on. Destroying our economy because China and our many Governments threw us under the bus and China is poised like a vulture to pick our bones. Australia is about to become Australasia. Souls sold to the China store.
All this means to me is that us net taxpayers will have to pay for it. I see no reason to prop up the likes of Qantas with taxpayer money when other businesses will suffer just as badly and get nothing.

More than 60,000 businesses register in govt's $130bn JobKeeper scheme | Sky News AustraliaTreasurer Josh Frydenberg says more than 60,000 businesses have already registered their interest in the government’s $130 billion JobKeeper scheme and expects thousands more to register yet. \n\nWithin an hour of the announcement, 8000 businesses signed up for the Job Keeper allowance which will see them paid $1500 a fortnight for each worker they keep on the books for the next six months. \n\n“Businesses will need this subsidy to keep their employees and I think it will save thousands of businesses and millions of employees,” Mr Frydenberg said. \n\nSpeaking to Sky News on Tuesday, the Treasurer said Australia was “fighting a war on two fronts, a health crisis and an economic crisis simultaneously”. \n\nWhen asked how long he expected it would take the government to pay off the $130 billion scheme, Mr Frydenberg admitted “it will take years and years” but said “we have to do what is needed at this time and that’s to support the economy”. \n\nThe Treasurer said the government would make further announcements “about various initiatives in due course” but said “they won’t top what was announced yesterday”. \n\n“That was the most significant announcement that you will see from a government for years to come,” he said. \n\n JoshFrydenberg Classic problem, reaction solution. Create total hysteria and fear around an invisible boogeyman. Shut down entire economies as a result of this manufactured crisis. Drive people straight into the arms of gov't, where they will willingly hand over ALL freedom and civil liberty. JoshFrydenberg JoshFrydenberg
