Not so much amazing, as the consequence of good swift action management geared from getgo to care for their people. None of this rushing back to open so capitalists can get richer, stuff.

The govt claimed it couldn't include casuals that had worked less than a year b/c it had to draw the line somewhere. If they don't extend it now, it's not b/c they're concerned about the cost, they just really just don't want to include them
Breaking: Big revision on JobKeeper numbers. Treasury & ATO say a reporting error by around 1,000 businesses, means they can now revise DOWN the number of recipients from 6.5m to 3.5m. JobKeeper now estimated to cost taxpayer $70b instead of $130b.

So the Jobkeeper subsidy has now been costed by Treasury at $70B not $$130B Workers have withdrawn $13B from their Super Funds #LNPMoneyMen

Thanks to a miscalculation on Jobkeeper, the commonwealth gov has $60b available. There’s now no excuse not help out the higher ed sector, other than some sort of ideological anti higher ed position or the fear that helping out international students isn’t a vote winner. #auspol

JobKeeper fuckup is yet another legacy of John Winston Howard: fill the PS with toady yes-men & competence flies out the nearest window.

When the Liberals stuff up, Trump-like it's always somebody else's fault.
Treasury says these businesses mistakenly submitted the amount they expected to receive where they should have stated the number of employees they expected to be eligible.
Whatever the maximum reading of the Despise Meter is.

In Vietnam 0 deaths for 97m people. Not bad.
In the US one death per 3330. In Australia one death per 250,000.

It didn’t have to be this bad. The hard truth is that Donald Trump failed to take action, and it cost American lives.

Dutton lashes 'no logic' Queensland Premier over border closure: Most QUEENSLANDER'S AND WEST AUSTRALIAN'S ARE IN FAVOR OF KEEPING THE BORDERS CLOSED ! What Stepanodik, Dutton, Hanson and Miles think or say is immaterial!

I fully expect that was actually the plan all along. 1. Get kudos for 'saving economy' with 'historic' bail out of $130b 2. Brag how many 'workers' saved 3. Brag 'saved' money due to 'targeted' assistance *applaud* More interested in knowing who was going to roll to get sprung?

Jeez, lot of federal politicians launching a myriad of attacks on state premiers who won't bow to @ScottMorrisonMP's anti-lockdown demands. Almost as if it's a planned strategy, not unlike those of a certain US President. – at New South Wales, Australia

Peter Dutton let a ship with sick people disembark in the middle of the night while nobody was watching including Australian Border Force. If you search the earth for bad advice he's at the top of the list. His eyebrows were so ashamed they left his face. #rubydutton #auspol
