Sorry to hear that mate. Look up the 'JobKeeper Payment'. https://treasury.gov.au/sites/default/f ... yees_0.pdf
The Government is giving employers $1500 per fortnight to pass on in full to their employees (up to 6 months). If she's currently earning more than that it's up to the employer to 'top-up' her pay or not. That's if her employer registers for the package as well. If she's sacked she may be entitled to the 'JobSeeker' $1100 per fortnight.
As far as other benefits go it depends on household income. My hours are more than likely going to be reduced (we're a single income family of 4), and I know I earn 'too much' (just under 50K after tax) to be able to claim any other benefit apart from Family Tax A & B (2 kids under 6).
Certainly is a shitty year!

Definitely, they claim they have mortgage payments so no cancellations. SA people so they don’t think they should be cancelling however they refunded an interstate booking
Then they should be deferring their mortgage payments, if they are using that excuse its just a greedy cash grab
But that's just it, its a deferral so still has to be paid pack. That's what the landlords are saying.
Could the banks cancel payments fully and take the hit?

Wont they get stung big time for positive gearing if they accept rent but get their mortgage's frozen for 6 months?

Border Force allowed Ruby Princess to dock
An Australian Border Force officer instructed a Sydney harbour master to allow the troubled Ruby Princess to dock despite as many as 140 passengers in isolation on board, official sources said.
Sources with knowledge of official inquiries into the debacle revealed a conversation took place with the Port Authority of NSW employee and a female Border Force officer in the hours before the ship was due to dock.

Would have thought the biggest issue was not allowing them to dock, but moreso not testing and quarantining where necessary.

Wouldn't be happening if the kids were still at school, teachers won that battle.

Won what battle? As far as I was aware, schools haven’t been shut by the federal or state governments. Teachers have been given four days to try to learn, organise and start a whole new era of education, before schools will reopen again.
School attendance was down to 20% in some places last week, due to parents making the decision to keep kids home, not teachers. Hardly the fault of teachers that some parents either a) refuse to put boundaries in place for their kids or b) have no common sense.

Well said mate. Doing a good job, I've been impressed by the communication of assignments on Daymap and personal emails to me from teachers at my lads High School whilst still delivering the curriculum to the few that are still going.
