Morrison will not rush JobKeeper scheme review
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has defended his government’s decision to take a measured and lengthy approach in reviewing the subsidy schemes before their scheduled September end. Speaking to the media on Monday, Mr Morrison said while many businesses were seeing an improvement in turnover, there were still a significant number requiring financial assistance. He singled out a number of sectors -including the aviation, entertainment and tourism sectors - that were still struggling under the impact of coronavirus shutdowns. “There are many moving parts in this, this is not a simple issue.” “Our fiscal support of the economy is unprecedented, when you’re burning through cash at a rate of almost $11 billion a month on JobKeeper then obviously that is not something you can continue on that form forever. “That’s why the government is being very careful in the considerations we’re having, we’re not rushing to any decisions, we’re working carefully through all the various elements.” Image: Getty
