My question is to the Minister for Families and Social Services, Senator Ruston. Minister, yesterday in question time you said that the new rate of jobseeker under the coronavirus supplement was temporary and time-limited—that is, it finishes. Today the media are reporting that jobseeker will be permanently increased. Can you confirm that the rate of jobseeker and youth allowance will be permanently increased from the end of September? If that's the case, when was this decision made?
