We now know what JobKeeper 2.0 will look like.
The scheme will continue until March 28, 2021, costing $16 billion.

- A flat rate of $1200 a fortnight for eligible workers who work more than 20 hours a week
- A flat rate of $750 per fortnight for eligible workers who work less than 20 hours per week
They will then be reduced after January 4, dropping to:
- A flat rate of $1000 per fortnight for eligible workers who work more than 20 hours a week
- A flat rate of $650 per fortnight for eligible workers who work less than 20 hours per week
