Comments

I lost my job due to the spread of Covid 19 virus and it will be very helpful if the government can provide some support for me to be able to stay.

Living already 5 years in Australia. Been paying nothing but taxes, fees, rent. And this without getting anything back.

Without support, some people might 'die' from hunger or no roof above their head.. Not from covid19..

I am a 489 visa holder who undertook various trainings (forklift, first-aid, construction induction etc), but unemployed and struggling to meet expenses due to Covid19.

I'm signing this petition because I'm a temporary visa holder and I work full time at the airport in a car hire company. The business is directly affected by the pandemic and I'm at the verge of losing my job. I've been paying taxes to the Australian govt for the last 3 years now. It's high time govt takes care of me when I need it the most.

I am signing since I am one of those that are affected. My job has been cancelled until further notice. I don't have any other form of job at the moment

I am on a working holiday visa. At this crazy time, we can’t have any income so we need to get any support from the government.

I am signing because I know so many people lost their jobs due to Corona virus and its getting harder and harder for the people to pay the rent and all other expenses especially for students so I want to request the government they should definitely help the people so they can relive. If government lock downed most of the business then government should think about the people how they would survive so government should think about the financial help before they lock down Australia.

I’m on a 482 and I’ve been let go. I’m not legally allowed to work another job - which I want to do - so have to either be given money or allowed to make money while covid 19 is happening. I will return to my sponsor (a restaurant) when they reopen.

I am a backpacker in Australia and I really love it here. The extension would allow me more time to get my farm work as the current climate has made it nearly impossible.

I am on a working holiday visa I currently have no job no money yes I have a roof over my head at the minute because I’m in a hostel but I don’t know how long that will be open for. I am stranded here with no help, the flights are ridiculously expensive so we can’t even get
Home. It would help thousands and thousands of people if you sorted one of the above out for us.
Thank you

I’ve put into the economy by doing my farm work and giving something back.

I’m a “temporary” resident for visa purposes, but have worked and supported small businesses and the Australian economy for over 3 years. In the shut down, I’ve lost my ability to earn an income but because of my status there is no stimulus package for me.

Everyone needs support even temporary visa holders and international students.

Jonathan Crumpton (Sydney, 2020-03-27)

As a applicant for a permanent resident visa current on a WA/010 visa, throughout this crisis causing possible lockdown, a lot of temporary visa holders will be put out of work, yet still be expected to pay rent in Australia, bills, food, utilities without the financial support of the government of which many would of spent many years paying to through taxes.

Joe Harrison (Maryborough, 2020-03-27)

Most international students are hard working and here to add to society and integrate into it. We are an asset to the Australian lifestyle and pay our way also through student fee's, tax and filling many jobs that the Australian population is unable to fill consistently. We already have lots of laws and stipulations working not in our favour. In this time of need many of us are becoming unable to work, live and manage financially and many other are having to leave because of this. Some are unable to get home. We are merely requesting to be treated as a temporary Australian in these unprecedented times of need everybody is going through.

Many thanks,

from another vital, hardworking, hopefully essential, future part of this great country, Jack
