Suspend all mortgage, rent, bills & issue salary substitute in Australia.
Why this petition matters
We are in the midst of an unprecedented crisis. This is a 1 in a 100 year event. COVID-19 has already proved extremely disruptive to all businesses here in Australia and I think we can all agree, this is just the start.
For the sake of the Australian people, it’s time for the government and the banks who have made money off us for years to give some goodwill back to the community that built them and freeze all mortgages, rent and bills for casual workers and full time employees affected by the downturn since COVID-19.
With small businesses shutting down entirely and other businesses forced to lay off staff, we are facing an employment and wage crisis that is exacerbated by mortgages, rent, and commercial leases.
A financial salary substitute is essential for all per hour workers who are now struggling.
Corporations get bailouts all the time. It's time for regular Aussies to get it this time.
A huge percentage of Australians only have enough money til the next payday. We need the government to step up, calm the nerves, protect not just physical heath but also the nation's mental heath whilst we work through COVID-19.
