Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: The cost of the new wage subsidy scheme is estimated to be $510 million. In addition, the current wage subsidy extension is still open for applications until 1 September. Treasury estimates we will see a potential increase in the uptake of the current extension so that the combined cost of the new scheme and the extension is $1.6 billion. Treasury estimates that about 930,000 workers will be supported by the two schemes. Uptake of the wage subsidy extension has been lower than anticipated, due to the economy outperforming expectations, meaning that these new costs will be covered by the underspends in the existing wage subsidy. Therefore, we will not be dipping into the $14 billion that has been set aside from the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund.
