And many of these companies did not pass on job keeper to the employees in need ?

Isn’t part of having a business great risk for great rewards. They have made a motza over past 5 years, capitalised on low interest rates, whilst people not wanting risk earning wage prefer security. All those business again made profits with hand out again begrudging those emp

1 of 2 Business took billions from the taxpayer by self assessment about their turnover, business did so knowing they would not be audited or asked to return the $$$. Workers need to apply via onerous methods and with strict criteria, if they make a mistake or get it wrong

Fuck that!! Make 'Morrison & FriedTurd shell it out from their own pockets, and tell 'em to sue corporate for re-imbursement...

margokingston1 12.5bn if taxpayer funds spaffed against the wall to benefit LNP mates and donors.

This won't end well when we get a federal ICAC.

Looking after their mates as usual!

True to form, they responded to a national emergency with emergency rorts. And they'll do it again.

That’s a lot of $ 😡

Am I right to think these figures include the millions given to Harvey Norman, private schools and “churches”? Or are they a different bracket? A do-not-release-to-public bracket JoshFrydenberg

TAX PAYERS RIPPED OFF YET AGAIN!!!!!

This is a disgrace

New ring helping rising number of people struggling to sleepResearchers are trailing a new device that could help a growing number of Australians experiencing insomnia during the pandemic. About 5 years ago I supported this startup and have used the ring to retrain my sleep habits. It seems counterintuitive but it worked for me! Used it again last year after falling into habit of watching the news 😒 and being too wired to fall asleep.

Hungary calls referendum to gauge local support for controversial new anti-LGBTIQ+ lawHungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has announced a referendum will be held to gauge domestic support for a controversial anti-LGBTIQ+ law that has been slammed across Europe. Poland next! 'The legislation, which includes a ban on the depiction or promotion of homosexuality and gender reassignment to under-18s, has drawn scorn across Europe.' Actually, the legislation has drawn scorn from the EU bureaucracy. Not 'across Europe'. Not even remotely the same thing 👏👏 stand your ground Hungary
