Labor\u2019s decision to let big corporations keep JobKeeper profits is a complete capitulation, the Greens say.
\n\u201cWe know that $13 billion went to boosting the bottom line of profitable companies during the pandemic,\u201d Greens Economic Justice spokesperson Senator Nick McKim said.
\n\u201cThe fact that Labor is happy for big corporations to keep this money just shows that they are far more focused on their big donors than helping people who need it most.\u201d
\n\u201cJobKeeper turned into one of the biggest rorts in Australian corporate history, and the money that corporations didn\u2019t need should be clawed back and spent on schools and hospitals.\u201d
\n\u201cThis is a shocking capitulation – we\u2019ve got a plan to force large, profitable corporations to pay back JobKeeper – and we\u2019ll keep hammering the major parties on their support for corporate greed.\u201d
\n\u201cThe Greens Bill is currently before a Senate Inquiry and we will keep the pressure on the government, even if Labor won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
