With respect to the honourable member's question, the whole purpose of the JobKeeper payment is to keep people in work by reducing the cost of labour. It is helping businesses at a very difficult time. It's maintaining the formal connection between the employee and the employer. More than $2 billion has already gone out the door under the JobKeeper payment and more will go out in coming weeks.
