It's very hard for me to make a judgement without knowing the individual circumstances of specific businesses. What I would say is that the eligibility requirements for JobKeeper are very clear. They are applied consistently to all businesses. They involve a turnover test. If the turnover test is appropriately complied with then obviously relevant businesses are able to access JobKeeper payments to help support the wages of their eligible employees. That is the beginning and the end of it. As long as the businesses acted lawfully, there is no ground and no reason for the government to seek reimbursement of the funds that have been disbursed under this program.
