The prime minister is set to receive a Treasury report into coronavirus supports, but will not make changes for another month.

Scott Morrison is concerned people are knocking back work because their unemployment benefits are too generous.

"We are getting a lot of anecdotal feedback from small businesses, even large businesses," he told 2GB radio on Monday. Mr Morrison is also concerned the government is"burning through" almost $11 billion a month on JobKeeper wage subsidies.He is looking to redirect support towards industries hardest hit by coronavirus and withdraw it from companies quicker to recover.

Because people are happy with $550 a week for temporary couple of months enjoying their house in their pool right? If you want cheaper labour get more migrants for your friends companies scomo! JobSeeker JobKeeper

Let’s apply the same thought process to politicians - not working because the rorts are too generous without any investigation, not working because wage increases too generous with no checks, not working because the media are too generous towards their piss taking........

Their not working because there are to fewer jobs for the 1.5 million people out of work. This PM is a complete dud.

The guy’s a pussyfooting idiot 😩

Premier urges WA jobseekers to take offersWest Australians who are knocking back work because they're comfortable on JobSeeker are being urged to get off their backsides, with Premier Mark McGowan saying 'our economy needs you'. This is why those that really need government help don’t get enough because people who don’t really need it take the piss. The whole scheme is the work of incompetents. Yeah-nah, I’m all good thanks. I’ll keep my new QANTAS flight attendant mates company on my park bench. Plus they keep serving me cab savs!

Government accused of playing 'cruel games' with JobSeeker after denying it's looking at boosting the rateLabor has accused the federal government of playing 'cruel games' over the JobSeeker payment after the social services minister dismissed reports that the unemployment benefit would be permanently increased. PENSIONS and the DOLE need to be lifted , and lifted A LOT. Take some of the perks off the wealthy ( ie tax refunds for franks shares , negative gearing for multiple rental properties ) and boost the top marginal tax rate. ScottyfromMarketing wonders why all those unemployed don't just use their $300 a day travel allowance
