Feds should let workers affected to get dole payment within a week if they have less than 3 to 4 weeks worth of money for bills and living in their bank accounts. 'We're all in this together', hey!? ScottMorrisonMP ?

Thank God for State Govts because the Cth can’t help with s

What isnt Frydenberg demanding the likes of Harvey Norman to return Job Keeper back to Victorian workers.? But obstinately refuse to help these employees and small businesses in dire straits!

just remember nothing is stopping the victorian people to hold all federal lnp politicians to account at the next federal election. there are 18 seats . make every one of those seats change hands auspol

Looking at some of the tables and chairs on tv, a lot of those businesses are beyond support.

Well they bloody well caused it....

$250M? Wow!!

Regrettable we have to go through this but we have to. Money well spent. Just look at India Malaysia Brazil Argentina now..eco and social collapse.. uncontrollable and much suffering, all because their leaders and morons think it's no problems and denied lockdowns

Sooo the Victorian government found money to give to business..but haven`t found money to give to employees and is blaming the Feds for that....oookaaaayyyyy

And not a single cent from the federal government, who's fault this is

Granville4879 And who is going to benifit from this money

Victorians including Dan's own team are paying a real high price for Dan's pride and incompetence sad.

3500 will go not very far at all, probably pay the owners if that. Some of these places would turn over 3500 a day if not more. Oh well it’s the casual employees that will get screwed and unable to pay rent no doubt. 🤷‍♂️
