The Country can’t afford it

Sorry but pensioners only get less than jobseekers and some jobseekers do not even seek for jobs!!

It was known from day one that this was only temporary. The country will be recovering from this for a very long time.

Only if they give the same to pensioners and those on disability.

As with all government support mechanisms there has to be a cease date. Prior to the pandemic there was consistent bleating about government debt. Now, who cares about the inherited debt?

Covid is here to stay in one form or another. Many people have received well over their standard pay rate during the initial Covid lockdowns so maybe the extra should have been considered a windfall and something for that rainy day. I received nothing as a casual who had been with the company only 6 months. Work is available if your prepared to change your perception of what your worth and what else you can do.

I personally think perhaps the money could be utilised better for the economy, maybe reduce the amount.

As a job keeper reciprient (sic) I am very grateful to all the taxpayers who have been supporting me. But I know the country can not afford to continue in this way. Time to get jobs that can be done in the current climate. Put the money towards developing and training people for the jobs of now and the future. Stop paying people to do nothing.
