My question is to the Prime Minister. Adam from Lethbridge Park is a 40-year-old Dnata worker who was deliberately excluded from JobKeeper. He was put on minimal hours this year and is looking for a new job. Because he is 35, Adam is locked out of the hiring credit. Adam asks: if there are only incentive programs for employing up-to-35s and over-50s, where does that leave me? Why is the Prime Minister leaving Australians like Adam behind?
