Morrison: waive JobKeeper debts!
The Morrison Government is hitting people with JobKeeper debts in the middle of a pandemic1, all while letting big companies who made a profit from JobKeeper walk away with billions2.
More than 11,000 people on income support have been issued debt notices for JobKeeper totalling $32 million.3
A government that chases after welfare recipients for millions while companies walk away with billions is a government unashamedly bent on punishing the unemployed.
Enough is enough. A huge petition would force this issue into the spotlight and demonstrate that people across the country are getting organised to fight back — just like we did with Robodebt.

SIGN THE PETITION
To Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Employment Minister Stuart Robert,
It is unconscionable to slug people on income support with debts while letting billionaires like Gerry Harvey off the hook.
As the pandemic rages on, people doing it tough need support — not more punishment.
We call on you to immediately waive the JobKeeper debts.
