I believe none of the employees for of any of the ME3 airlines in Australia were eligible
one small Pacific carrier whose staff here are ineligible
Toll Dnata has 6000 people missing out on JobKeeper
but there are those that think that is OK because it "saves" $60bn
*. Apparently the human cost is just too bad.
Is it not the case that those employees pay Australian tax, spend their money (when they had it) in Australia to contribute to the overall economy, their employers pay the payroll tax despite there being foreign ownership and are obliged to pay the SGC? Why the differentiation, their operations in Australia would be no different if they weren't foreign owned?
* by the time those locked out of Jobkeeper go onto Jobseeker, a good part of that $60bn will disappear as I mentioned earlier. Some just can't seem to grasp that simple point.
