A bit more clarification on those who have been stood down already – if you can perform a wage function, then you should get this payment.
“If you were on the books from the 1st of March, then they would be an eligible employee,” says Josh Frydenberg.
Essentially, your employer can take you back, if they were forced to let you go because of the coronacrisis.
If entitlements have been paid out, then you need to work that out with your employer. If they haven’t been, then you keep that.

Right, so it is a wage-subsidy – so employers will have their employees covered for up to $1500 a fortnight, and then they chip in the rest.
So for minimum wage earners, it will be covered 100%. If you earn more, then the employer will have to keep in the rest.
It does not include superannuation.

Scott Morrison has set up a “weekly tele-presence meeting” between the leaders of the government and the leaders of the opposition, to explain the measures which are coming, and may be coming.
So they are talking to each other on a weekly basis now.
Parliament will need to be recalled for this (under the new quorum rules) so they are working out when that is.
Morrison says some of the legislation could be “a bit complicated” so they are going to need a bit of time to draft it. The government will then share it with the opposition, and see if they can come to an agreement before the parliament is re-called, to ensure it goes as quickly and smoothly as possible.

The Australian share market finished up 7% on Monday ahead of the country’s government announcing a new spending package as the closing bell rang.
Health stocks led the charge, with Mayne Pharma and Ansell both skyrocketing by more than 25% and Estia surging more than 15%.
Mining services group Parenti Global was the biggest loser among top 200 companies, falling 7%, and buy-now-pay-later fintech Afterpay slumped 3.7% as short-sellers built significant stakes in the company.

Josh Frydenberg says the payment goes back to 1 March – if you have been let go in that time, you should talk to your employer.
Employees can go to the ATO and register for the program.

Some NZers to get the payment.
The payment will apply to New Zealanders who are in Australia on a Triple 4 visa.
They won’t have access to the welfare system, but they will get this one, because they had jobs, “they are part of the economy of Australia”.
There is no word on the other temporary visa holders, as yet.
