Sure and you're quite right, that's because it was never envisaged that a stand down would only ever be a short period, where leave accrued and possibly even leave credits could be used to support those effected. Never would it have been imagined that something like job keeper would ever be needed. Now that we know, it will be capped and that is to the end of the year at this point, an amendment to the national stand down provisions is a stroke of the pen, which no doubt is being drafted as we speak.
It would be and is unreasonable for any employee of Australia to be stood down indefinitely without pay.
