There are rising allegations of ‘double standards’ within the Federal Government as millions of citizens are required to pay back thousands in JobKeeper payments, while big companies continue to record profits.
Over 11,000 people now owe the government around $32.8 million to Centrelink, after being overpaid for income support through JobKeeper and JobSeeker.
There has been resulting criticism from these Australians who feel underwhelmed by the system, and angered that the debts have been blamed almost entirely on them.
