My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is cutting the coronavirus supplement for about 7,000 Australians on JobSeeker in my electorate of Corangamite. Why did the Prime Minister say: 'We cannot allow the lifeline that has been extended to now hold Australia back'? Doesn't he realise that people want to work, but there simply aren't enough jobs in the middle of the worst recession in almost a century?
