Shadow Minister for Women Tanya Plibersek says it’s “just disgraceful” billions of dollars in JobKeeper payments went to businesses which didn’t need the extra support.

“I’m a big supporter of JobKeeper for the business that needed it to keep people employed, to keep them connected to work, of course I support that, that was critical,” she told Sky News host Alan Jones.

“But for businesses that didn’t need it, that just took it as a windfall, to rack up almost $20 billion of extra spending, I think that is just disgraceful.

“Some of these companies have had their most successful year on record.”
