Big businesses that received JobKeeper will be able to keep the financial support secret, with the federal Coalition rejecting a bid to make it public and the Labor Party backing down from insisting on it.

Parliament will pass legislation for the latest COVID-19 financial support for workers and businesses today

"The amendment requires the Tax Commissioner to publish all of the companies who earn more than $10 million who have received JobKeeper and the amount they have received," said Senator Patrick. "I hope the Labor Party will support my amendment and insist that it remain in the bill. If they don't … that just means they are pretending that they stand for something."

"We should have a public register whereby every firm with a turnover above $100 million has their details published," Mr Leigh said.

We need to know their names..why not? Are they all liberal donors?

That would have nothing to do with relation would it.

NannaHannah Imagine if the govt had a backbone and introduced an emergency tax on all the companies profiting from COVID and sent the money to job keeper job seeker…”you may say I’m dreamer”

That's our money..full transparency required with all public funds..

gdgoz “…don't think it's appropriate to create a circumstance where now they are vilified with some sort of pretence that they weren't eligible when they were eligible…” Such circumstance is only appropriate for poor people under RoboDebt. LNPdisgrace scottythegaslighter Auspol

Too late ... :) Here's some of them -

The government doesn't want us boycotting the thieving grubs who got so much taxpayer money they could give big bonuses to the top brass? So much secrecy, you'd think there was corruption going on.

KristekBrozovic Nonsense! Name and shame, it's in the public interest.

Neoliberal business socio-economic communists

The 'Federal Coalition' rejected it. AustralianLabor supported the transparency amendment in the Senate & they should stick to those guns. ALeighMP SenKatyG AliciaPayneMP

Was Harvey Norman 1 of them ? Pretty sure it's not a secret anymore .

I'm a business owner and we didn't apply for Jobkeeper because our business didn't have any significant drop in earnings. In we had a significant increase. I just don't understand how companies that had an increase can possibly justify keeping Jobkeeper.

So I'm paying for it but I'm not allowed to know who's getting my money? How does that work?

lol and then they’ll use this loss of public funds to justify austerity measures

🤬

But if a single working person tried to scam the government they would go to jail and be named and shamed. Sounds like our government is looking after big business in order for future support.

Let's hope people see the lack ad transparency and deceptions and vote differently at the next election

Increasing secrecy and lack of honesty from this government. We can only assume they’ve done the wrong thing if they’re continually trying to hide what they’ve done.

Liberals are for corporations. Labor is for the people.

Of course the fed gvnmt rejects it!!

Democracy not

The LNP waste a shed-load of money on their already wealthy mates & pork barrelling rorts but bulk at Labor's idea a $300 payment for vaccines. The Morrison Govt are the worst tax payer money managers of all time. MorrisonFailure LNPCorruptionParty auspol

jobkeeper required specific criteria to be estimated & then confirmed by each organisation for payments to be made. The ATO will assess each in due course as per assessment. The government nor media could not have the facts on each company, the ATO will.

saltyskin_ Obscene that’s we’re not allowed to know what’s down with OUR tax money - this government is making the mistake of thinking it’s theirs IT’S NOT - but likely they’ve been feeding their buddies as with the Sports and Car Park Rorts

Cool. Don’t call me at tax time then ATO. Same rules, right?

Why? What are they hiding?

AustralianStory How many of the companies are LNP donors?

ALeighMP mate can you guys just stand and slam the LNP flogs? Why back it once and then not again? I know you want to pick battles but what's the principle of backing once and then not again?

The government wants to keep it secret as it is the biggest MONEY HEIST ever of transferring PAYE taxpayers $$$ to the elite. The LNP have fucked Australia and lined the pockets of corporations with taxpayers money whilst people die, businesses collapse and the country crashes.

'A senior cabinet minister once told me that they love playing chicken with the Labor Party because they always swerve' It'd suck to be a Labor MP who actually gives a shit, watching your party align itself with the LNP time and time again. If only we had an opposition 🤷

Struggling to see where the ALP differs from LNP. Yet again it has backed down to speak up against more financial measures that benefited the posh end of town That's it for me...donkey votes from now on

SenatorWong gutless

What is the bloody point of AustralianLabor. Grow a spine.

Dodgy

Some names already leaked out over time, so they can't be that secret. Most likely if the full list were released it would titled 'Australia's supply side monopoly' with thanks to not only the LNP but also large sections of the ALP and McManus.

How? How is this acceptable?

How can any distribution of public money remain secret?

Phildecynic ha they take money but don't want the heat .. here is bunch of flowers for you timid pussies.🌺🌸🌼⚜

Why Labor supports this is a mystery to me.

if they didn’t qualify for it, why are they allowed to keep it like Harvey Norman? The whole ‘they don’t need to pay it back’ seems at odds with the whole stance on robodebt which was if you have been overpaid, or the system decides you have (even if you haven’t) pay it back.

Some companies came out and named themselves and voluntarily paid back money.

Well of course they would. Can't have the mates names revealed. After all, without the mates, donors, mates of mates, mates of donor mates... there is no Game of Mates. EVERYONE OF THEM IS CONNECTED IN SOME WAY TO EACH OTHER. THE TRICKLEDOWN IS FOR MATES ONLY! And so it goes.

Because that does not Scream cover up!!!

This was an appalling failure of Government as much as anything else. Another dirty little secret the Government have to cover up to make them feel/appear less corrupt and incompetent.

I’m confused, how has labor not backed the bill if it hasn’t happened yet?

Of course the govt doesn’t want to name them as it makes them look more stupid than we already thought. They want their incompetence kept secret. They should be asking for it back not hiding it by the way…..

.AlboMP ALeighMP AnikaWells We are watching. Don’t let us down. Please. Some of your votes are making it so very hard to continue to support Labor.

Just like any other scam this govt initiate I guess.

Im pretty sure they published the names of those who returned it?

For christs sake AlboMP C’mon

Crony’s and corruption.

AustralianLabor AlboMP . Grow a set labor! Support this bill! . We want to know what companies to boycott. Thieving miserable big business Senator_Patrick

Yeah, no corruption here to be seen.🙄 And politicians wonder why we don't trust them!🤔🤣

As taxpayers we are entitled to know where this bunch of crooks are distributing OUR money.

Says it all. Our money not lnp. If it's secret it is companies that should not have received

Lno

Hillsong Pty Ltd? The Brian Houston Fighting Fund Inc? Deadly Armaments Manufacturing (USA) Co.?

Why so secret squirrel 🤔🐿

Hillsong, he relisted volunteers as employees once he could purloin money.

Here's some.

Events that were expected to happen didn't happen and vice versa with the beginnings of this pandemic. Jobkeeper was one of them? Big companies expecting a 30% drop in revenue but instead gained a 30% increase then knowingly accepting millions from the government? Not right.

What's the go here ALeighMP.?

Obviously kickbacks from donors

Flabbergasted. No point in elaborating.

Such bs It is public money not LNP money

Harvey Norman took like 40 mill didn't he.

What the hell figures did they conjure to show 30% drop in revenue? Furniture was one of the biggest market shares during covid months. ATO should audit and claim back if revenue did not drop. Um remember robodebt?

Our money, our right to know.

Harvey Norman been splashing massive amounts of $ on newspaper ads and $1000 incentives to purchase so I’m guessing they got Jobkeeper.

Party before Country. 🙁

Labor is trying to win the next election by being LNP Lite.

So what part of 'accountability' does this government understand?

The Morrison Government has a problem with Transparency auspol insiders COVID19Vic

That's weird, should be public record

Pure LNP corruption.

Surely not 'which'

Scandalous

The liberal party protects business and the rich, but unleashes robo - debt on the poor.

There is probably a very good reason for the Bipartisan support for confidentiality here due to most likely more unemployment if forced to declare any payments to be paid back.

Too many LiberalAus mates?

Why am I not surprised. Morrison protecting his donors. How dare he give OUR money to these greedy bastards.

Accountable & Transparent in your dreams LNP Mafioso DenOfThieves

All the more reason to hold a Royal Commission into everything covid.

Whatever happened to transparency and public accountability for the use of taxpayer funds?

Ridiculous.....if they are ok taking the money why aren't they ok tax payers knowing they are taking the money?
