Are you in trouble? Australians who wrongly withdraw $10,000 from their superannuation could face a HUGE shock - and then a big tax bill too

Australians now have until December 31, 2020 to withdraw up to $10,000 from their super. Doing so illegally, however, could see someone fined $12,600 and hit with a nasty tax bill.

Not sure that is the case here in Perth though.

Good for them.

JobKeeper will be available for almost one million more Victorians before Christmas as Scott Morrison extends $16B lifeline to businesses crippled by stage four lockdown restrictions

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has changed the eligibility requirements to make sure thousands of Melbourne businesses that have been forced to close have access to the support.

Maybe they get more money for nothing than they do for working hard --?

Maybe workers should get paid a decent wage

Don't worry the Government do not have to pay it back, ever.

They just loaned Dreamworld $2 million too.

There was an employer recently reported he advertised for staff and received 450 responses. Trouble was, only 2 came from unemployed Australians. The rest were all temporary visa holders not supported by either Job Keeper or Job Seeker.

What does that tell you?

Much like the farmers crying out for workers to bring in their harvests because there are no backpackers available to do the job. One was even offering $400 a day! Australians are just not willing to work when the support they are receiving is so high. Talk about 'sit-down money'.

Wonder if there will be any more support for the pensioners?   As a pensioner,  work full time - 30 hours a week over 4 days for a Not for Profit and take home a little over the $750 a week being handed out to others - yes I know some get less.  I can see why they dont want to look for work - well that could change when Sco Mo drops the rates - so go job seeking!!

Scott Morrison has warned Australians that coronavirus restrictions will likely stay in place into next year.

New South Wales and Victoria had agreed to largely reopen their economies, including borders, by late July.

But the killer second wave that has gripped Victoria put a pin in those plans, and subsequently led to Queensland also closing its borders indefinitely.

The prime minister said his government would tackle reopening borders 'one step at a time'.

'If circumstances change and certainly if they chance in the way we hoped they would, well, I would welcome it by Christmas, if it were possible,' he said.

'But I think it's unlikely that we were able to move back to a restriction-free society. But I doubt that is going to happen. I doubt the medical position will enable that.' 

Mr Morrison's dire outlook comes as the Northern Territory announced beefed up border restrictions to lockout travellers from coronavirus hotspots. 

Chief Minister Michael Gunner says the ban on Victoria and Greater Sydney could be in place until the end of 2021.

'We will have hard border controls in place for at least the next 18 months,' he told the ABC on Tuesday

Mr Gunner said extra police and health officials are being recruited to help monitor arrivals into the NT.

Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan also announced WA's borders could remain shut until mid-next year. 

Mr Morrison on Monday launched a savage attack on 'amoral and hideous' suggestions elderly Australians should be sacrificed to save the economy.

He expressed his disgust at suggestions older people should have been 'offered up' to the virus in order to reduce restrictions.

'That is just a hideous thought,' he told reporters in Canberra.

'An absolutely amoral, hideous thought. One I have had no countenance with from the very first time it was suggested.'

Victoria recorded 331 new cases and 19 more deaths on Tuesday.

NSW recorded 22 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday - four are in hotel quarantine, another two are from Victoria and eight are from the Tangara School for Girls cluster in Cherrybrook.
