Access to a wage subsidy is a public health issue and a human rights issue. Without income support, temporary visa holders and migrant workers will struggle to self isolate, look after themselves if they are sick and to self isolate. Today’s govt announcement isn’t good enough

Raiding your meagre superannuation (especially after the recent market drop) will only get people so far, especially in cities like Sydney where rents remain high.

Simply ‘going home’ is not an option for many. Borders around the world are closed, flights are expensive and infrequent, this is not a viable solution.

The Morrison Government must extend income support to all workers, not doing so risks community health and shirks Australia’s moral responsibility to ensure the wellbeing of all who are here during an unprecedented pandemic
