    Given that ordinary taxpayers and social security benefit receivers are required by the government to repay money that they subsequently receive over and above their entitlements, it would be appropriate that the government ask businesses that subsequently received jobkeeper benefits over and above their entitlement to pay it back to help reduce the fed debt burden.

    It is businesses and the coalition that tend to argue labor governments should be prudent financial managers.
