Minister, the JobKeeper package currently, as we know, applies to sole traders, who are able to claim the $1,500-a-fortnight payment if they can demonstrate a 30 per cent decline in turnover. My question is about sole traders who operate as partnerships, typically owner-drivers. For example, in the trucking industry many small contractors operate as family partnerships, including husband-and-wife partnerships. Is it the case that these kinds of partnerships will individually be eligible for a single JobKeeper payment, regardless of the fact that there are two workers actively operating the business?
