I have been in my current role for nine months.
I miss out on the Job Keeper incentive as everyone in my workplace is a casual except for the managers.
Am I expected to go to Centrelink and get less money to support myself because I wasn't working in one workplace for a full year tenure?

Guns should be banned
The government has just announced the immediate ban of selling guns to recreational shooters.
This is wonderful news.
Due to the current pandemic of Covid-19 sweeping the world, people have lost and continue to lose jobs, employment, income, homes and assets.
Domestic violence and crime is on the increase and tragically people will lose their lives at the business end of firearms.
To date, the Victorian duck shooting season will go ahead, come May 3, 2020.
Millions and millions of animals have been, and will continue to be killed by those people who possess a weapon of mass destruction.
Guns and crossbows are the ultimate lethal weapons.
Millions of beautiful native waterbird species have perished in the hands of those who have a blood lust of killing small and defenceless birds.
Tragically, many human lives have and will continue to be lost by guns as well.
It is time for Victorian premier Daniel Andrews to place a permanent ban, effective immediately, on recreational duck shooting in this state.
Mr Andrews needs to show courage, conviction and vision in banning this vile sport for good.
Animals and human are not "placings" and should not have to lose their lives by guns.
More lives will be taken by guns by domestic violence and animal cruelty than by Covid-19.
Only farmers and primary producers should have access to guns.

Hairdressing not essential
Allowing hairdressers to operate is the dumbest thing I've heard.
It puts both the client and the hairdresser at risk.
It's not an essential service.
