Fix Jobkeeper Now!
Over 5,500 Australian aviation workers are currently excluded from accessing JobKeeper payments because the Morrison Government altered eligibility rules for the scheme.
The aviation workers, who perform work critical to the functioning of the aviation industry such as ground handling and catering services for Dnata and airlines including Air Niugini, were previously eligible for JobKeeper payments as their employer was an Australian resident for tax purposes.
But with the stroke of a pen, PM Scott Morrison and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg pulled the rug out from under these aviation workers and left them without any support.
Hardworking Australians who pay their taxes but have been stood down due to the COVID-19 crisis and are currently struggling to get by without pay should not be denied JobKeeper.
With the $60 billion JobKeeper underspend and 3 million less workers receiving it than anticipated, there is no reason why JobKeeper cannot be expanded for these 5,500 workers.
We’re calling on the Federal Government to fix JobKeeper and close the loophole now.
