My question is to the Minister for Families and Social Services, Senator Ruston. Can the minister confirm that those whose partners earn over $78,000 a year, New Zealanders who are permanently living in Australia and temporary visa holders are not eligible for the jobseeker payment? What is the government's plan for those who are at risk of falling through the cracks as a result of not being eligible to either JobKeeper or jobseeker payments?
