We make a life here in Australia and pay tax’s and cannot go home.
We need help with financial support too as well as citizens.

Temporary visa holders including 4 of my nieces and 2 nephews are student visa holders. They have limited work and out of work and need to pay rent and school fees.

Backpackers make up an important part of the Australian economy. We are struggling as much as others during these tough times, and are often faced with difficult decisions about staying or going home. We need to stick it through in order to help the agricultural sector.

I’m currently on a WHV working very little hours due to the virus, i’m unable to afford a flight home and having to live in the uncertainty of being able to eat in the next few weeks. I’ve also had to let another WHV holder sleep on my sofa as he lost his job and could no longer afford a hostel.

I'm signing this because of my current situation with covid-19. I can't get work and I can't get a flight home without it costing 3,000 - 4,000 dollars which is extortion and I simply just can't afford it

I am on a bridging visa and may not have work soon. I have friends that are on working holiday visas who works have closed down. Flights are getting cancelled

I’m signing because I have lived in Australia for almost 3 years, and have paid taxes all the way through. I don’t think it’s fair that I and other in this position shouldn’t be eligible for anything while this crisis is going. I still have rent to pay, and will with the money buy food and essentials which will equal in more taxes that I’m putting out money for and to say we don’t deserve to benefit from that?

I lost my job, like everyone else in Port Douglas, cause this little town supports their economy in hospitality. I have a work and holiday visa.

I work in the hospitality industry along side so many amazing people who are here on student/holiday/temporary visas that are now out of work and terrified of their future. They deserve our help as well!

We don't find a job anywhere hard to find a place to sleep as we are travelling with our car and don't have really a home.

I'm signing because I'm on a temporary visa (417) I have recently entered and was in search of a job. I am now stranded with no job and my savings are running low. I'm dependent on friends but it wont last for long. I dont know what I will be doing.

I know many temporary visa holders who have been financially impacted by the Corona Virus and Government measures that have been implemented to contain it. In particular, international students that previously worked whilst studying and paid income tax. In addition, international students contribute greatly to the Australian economy.

I’m signing because we all are losing our job and we’ve been paying tax for Australia in the good time,now it’s not a good time and to me Australia needs to help everyone as we’ve been doing for the economy.

I'm signing because is this is a most unusual situation and these people need help. It's ok to take tax from non Australians when they are working so they need to be helped in this situation.

Many people are now trapped here with no financial support and no jobs! Temporary visa holders benefit the Australian economy hugely so they should also be looked after.

Shelley Allen (Sydney, 2020-03-27)

I’m signing because I can’t feel safe in this situation. If this is going to be months like that, then in money wise it will be really hard to survive here, because in this situation all the working give work at first to citizens and there’s just no place to give work to WH makers or other’s who have temporary visas. So it kinda feels we are left out. I know everyone here is having hard time, but for as a foreigner it is also hard, because I don’t have no family in here to go to and also going back to my homecountry will be really expensive.
I am from Voka, Estonia.
