As the parliament would be aware, the government has put in place $320 billion in economic support measures to get through and past the COVID-19 crisis. This includes the JobKeeper payment, which now covers around six million Australians, the expansion of the JobSeeker payment, access to superannuation, and, of course, direct financial support to families. When we look at Australia's investment, in terms of a percentage of GDP our investment is at the top of the leaderboard globally, showing that we are as prepared as we can be, in terms of other countries. Again, as the Prime Minister has confirmed today, the $130 billion JobKeeper payment now supports over six million employees staying connected to their employer.
