My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, Senator Payne. Tourism operators in Cairns have warned the Morrison government that thousands of jobs will be lost if JobKeeper isn't extended. In January Liberal MP Warren Entsch told The Cairns Post, 'I have got no doubt support will continue for as long as it needs to happen,' and extending JobKeeper was a 'no-brainer'. Is he right?
