My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, Senator Payne. Businesses in Far North Queensland have made it clear to both the Morrison government and the opposition that JobKeeper is keeping businesses solvent and, with its withdrawal, jobs will go. The CEO of Skyrail, Ken Chapman, said of job losses: 'Across the region, it will probably be thousands, definitely hundreds.' Why won't Mr Morrison be upfront with these businesses about what ongoing support will be available at the end of March?
