Nadine Garner is one of the country’s best and hardest working actor - and soon she expects to be lining up for welfare

Nadine Garner is one of the country’s best and hardest working actors. But soon she expects to be lining up for welfare, along with most of her colleagues, after falling through the cracks of the government’s coronavirus support package.

In a fact sheet issued on Sunday, the Treasury said JobKeeper payments would only go to casual employees who have been with their employer “on a regular and systematic basis for at least the previous 12 months”.The government resisted demands to include more casuals in JobKeeper, reportedly due to the added cost to the scheme.

she was starring in was shuttered by the coronavirus just days into a six-week run. She is hugely grateful to the MTC for paying an extra two weeks of her contract, but it still represents a big whack of lost income. “We’re all on a very high wire, even people with very solid and lofty profiles are often living hand to mouth.”

This is criminal!! Worked with her & found her to be very approachable & Talented & a lovely lady!! You will bounce back NADINE!!😘👍😷🥴

There's jobs in disability support

Hopefully one thing that will come out of all this is a new social perspective on poverty and 'housing stress'. I recommend my book, stuck in quarantine in New York, on its way here, Two Years In A Small Town. Exposes the poverty industry here in Australia.

Every industry is on the brink of collapse. I hope these celebrities and actors and sportstars have been wise with their $$, or they'll find themselves on the breadline like half of Australia.

Most industries are in the same boat. It seems the arts are going off more then anyone else.

I’ve got many hard working mates (who aren’t actors) in the same position... this sucks for everyone!

Most of the country is facing hardship. I guess it’s harder to accept for those that are generally self indulged.

Only six months........we can watch reruns of bonanza, Homicide and Division 4 till then. Too many whingers.

she ran out of money fast... how come?

Maybe she should start videoing herself singing and whatever else she is doing at home. That’s what all the other bored actors are doing and claiming money from the platforms they are using.

What about all the idiot AFL members subsidising player salaries... boo hoo instead of being on the average $300k, the little 25 year old is earning $150k for doing nothing... pffftt.

Loved her on City Homicide. Thing is, there are so many stories out of this industry. Hers is the first. A cluster of 'Stars fallin' hard.

Boooo whooo

Wereallinthistogether *Will still vote Labor

Because actors are like football players and their massive salaries, compared to normal folks, mean they have lived like kings and they can no longer support that life?
