My question is to the Prime Minister. Jan, from Frankston, is an age pensioner who works part time as a teacher. She received JobKeeper, and Centrelink is now demanding she repay more than $1,000. She has to repay it at $15 a fortnight out of her pension. Billions of dollars in JobKeeper payments were gifted to firms with rising earnings. Why is the Prime Minister not asking them to repay a single cent?
