[by video link] My question is to the Prime Minister. At JBS meatworks in Dinmore, Queensland, more than 1,700 full-time workers are at risk of permanently losing their jobs because the Prime Minister has excluded them from JobKeeper. There are already one million Australians who are unemployed. Why is the Prime Minister adding these workers to the unemployment queue in the middle of the worst recession in almost a century?
