My question is to the Prime Minister. Felicity from Geelong worked in admin at Deakin University for nearly 25 years and she's 55 years old. She was made redundant in September, after the government deliberately excluded university workers from receiving JobKeeper. Felicity is locked out of the hiring credit because of her age, and she isn't eligible for mature worker subsidies yet. Why is the Prime Minister leaving women like Felicity behind?
