"Wow."

"Now Scott Morrison has no excuse not to extend JobKeeper to all who need it, retain the new JobSeeker rate, give a Jobs and Income Guarantee to young people and invest in nation-building planet-saving projects to help the recovery."

 

For background:

The Greens are calling for Scott Morrison to:
- extend JobKeeper to all who need it, including all casuals
- keep new JobSeeker rate locked in
- fund a Jobs & Income Guarantee for young people
- fund nation-building planet-saving projects as part of our’ Invest to Recover’ plan
