My question is to the Prime Minister. According to a recent industry survey, 90 per cent of live entertainment companies are currently receiving JobKeeper payments. These businesses say that without JobKeeper beyond the end of March they could be forced to make up to a third of their staff redundant. Prime Minister, many workers in the industry never qualified for JobKeeper. Will your government now abandon those who did?
