My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is cutting the coronavirus supplement for nearly 9,500 Australians on JobSeeker in my electorate of Dunkley. Why did the Prime Minister say that we cannot allow the lifeline that has been extended to now hold Australia back? Doesn't he realise that people want to work and that they need this lifeline to continue during the worst recession in nearly a century?
