Under the $130 billion wage subsidy plan, charity workers would be able to access fortnightly payments of $1,500 per person as part of the government's initiative to help not-for-profit organisations during the virus outbreak. Ms Jackson told Sky News “universities are not-for-profit entities and in fact registered charities so we were hoping we would be eligible under that new 15 per cent revenue decline level that some other charities are being let in on”.
“Every cent that comes into a university goes back into the education of students and goes back into world leading research,” she said. She said there were serious concerns that the university sector faced losing at least $3 billion in revenue as well as costing about 21,000 jobs. “Domestic enrolments are holding up mostly really well” however the “really big revenue hit” comes from international students, she said.
Oh dear let's just put all and sundry on this $1500 program but I'm sure there'll still be someone unhappy 😭😭😭😭

How much money do you want just greed
It’s almost like pretending education is a commodity is a moronic neoliberal fantasy that doesn’t work at all...
C'mon. Universities wanting to get in on the Jobkeeper payments. This would be the same universities that were gaming the system to by-pass border laws to get student's in the country. They've got plenty and don't need it. Perhaps the lefties that run them can take a pay cut.
Now university students will end up like me ? Acting 🤣🤣🤣
I thought they'd be glad not taking western world money......

'Hopes of a plateau' as coronavirus death toll passes 10,000 in the US | Sky News AustraliaSky News US correspondent Cameron Stewart says 'the only silver lining' coming out of the United States is New York Governor Cuomo's comments that there are 'hopes of a plateau in deaths' for the state.\n\n'It's a very grim milestone today; 10,000 [deaths]. In fact, it's 10,500 already - that's how quickly things are going up. It's over 1000 people dying every day,' Mr Stewart said.\n\n'The spread of the virus in America has been very uneven - so in some states, there hasn't been much of a spread at all.'\n\n'Donald Trump's view is 'don't close down those economies if you don't need to' and the health experts' view is 'shut them down because the virus will get there eventually'. So you have this tension between the economic imperative and the health imperative.'\n\nImage: AP\n\n China Floods Facebook with Ads Blaming Trump for Chinese Virus: WB Hmm, At least 5 people in China have disappeared, gotten arrested, or been silenced after speaking out about the coronavirus WB: And in Australia Labor MP’S R Praising China Hmm?
