Govt must avoid withdrawing JobKeeper early 'at all costs'
Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the government got into JobKeeper “too slowly and too narrowly” and the risk now is withdrawing it “too quickly and too bluntly which must be avoided at all costs". “If the government continues to get these big calls wrong, whether it be the bungles with JobKeeper or robodebt, then that will cost jobs in the Australian community,” Mr Chalmers told Sky News. This comes as hundreds of thousands of Australians issued with "robodebt" notices will soon be contacted and repaid by the government after it conceded the scheme was unlawful. The government will refund $721 million worth of debt to almost 400,000 Australians, with repayments beginning from July. “It will mean the downturn is deeper than it needs to be and the recovery will be that much harder,” he said. “Let’s see what the government’s review proposes next month, but we’ve (Labor) made our views very clear.”
