JobKeeper payments for millions of Australians are being wound back as the federal government adjusts its response to the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
The federal government is scaling back the size of JobKeeper payments despite vocal calls to extend the wage subsidy as Australia struggles through the coronavirus pandemic.
The $86 billion JobKeeper package was put in place six months ago, as employees faced massive job uncertainty and severe financial distress.
From Monday, the wage subsidy is being reduced from $1,500 a fortnight to $1,200 a fortnight for full-time workers.
