You guys in OZ had it easy, in NZ working for the Qantas Group there was no Long Service Leave and our Wage Subsidy went for 12 weeks and was half of the Jobkeeper in Australia. The Government refused to give any access to pensions except if we were in significant financial hardship e.g. Mortgage default. If we took up another job then we also had to pay secondary tax of 33% due to the fact we were still employed by Qantas which also has ruled us out from any other government help.. Wage subsidy ran out in September. Not a competition but we just being told that we couldn't get any extra assistance from Qantas as then everyone in the Group would want it.
