Business leaders are now looking to Chancellor Rishi Sunak to soften the Prime Minister's attitude towards coronavirus restrictions as Boris Johnson is advised by Gov...

The fate of the government's JobSeeker handout will not be decided in next month's federal budget, despite growing calls for the more certainty around the scheme. Under the subsidy program an extra $550 was added to the base rate of $565.70 a fortnight for those looking for work. The generous payment was introduced in April to help the surging number of recently unemployed workers get through the coronavirus crisis. But on September 24, the $550 top up will be slashed to $250, as the Australian economy begins to rebound from the pandemic and more jobs come back. The $250 handout, which about 1.4 million Australians rely on, is set to end on December 31. According to the government, it's too early to say whether the program - which has already cost $12billion - should be extended into the new year.  The fate of the government's JobSeeker handout will not be decided in next month's federal budget, despite growing calls for the more certainty around the scheme.
