Whilst waiting for a permanent visa, I lost my job due to covonavirus just before heading back from maternity leave. We budgeted for 9 months off and Now there's no financial assistance for me when I can't control the length of time it takes to get off this temporary visa. Thanks.

I am a student of education and have been left unemployed due to covid-19. I am trying to find other employment but with no luck.

I’m signing because my boyfriend has recently lost his job leaving him unable to afford rent and potentially meaning we need to leave our flat within the next week/2 with no where to go. We have already looked at flights back to England and there aren’t many available and those that are are too expensive. We pay tax while in Australia so we should be able to reap some benefits when in such hard times.

I am signing because I am closely watching the disaster that is being done to the students and TR holders.My husband is TR and his friends are students. None of them have jobs or financial support which is why they are even struggling to buy one time meal.

Reason is that we paid tax every week in good times and now is time when we need help from government. If we won’t get help then what we are doing for the betterment of Australia and their dignity would be waste

I believe the people who are here to help Australia and currently call it home deserve help in this difficult time. We pay tax and give back to the economy in normal circumstances

#297

I've lived in Australia for 6 years, most of my adult life has been here and I have contributed to the growth of the country, to the community and have paid my taxes like a citizen. I'm currently on a graduate visa and my hours are dropping every week. Why should I be treated any differently to permanent residents? We deserve the same treatment.

Jennifer Kimmerling (Camperdown, 2020-03-26)

Temporary visa holders can be very helpful to this whole crisis as many have farming credentials and also we are just human and need to survive just like anyone else.

Amanda Toth (Melbourne, 2020-03-26)

I am a permanent resident now, but I know the hardship of temporary visa holders. They have to pay large visa fee, education fee, insurance fee, rent, bills, grocery and tax as well. They paid a lot to Australian Government, now it's time for them to support them in this crucial situation.

Sofia Aslam (Bundaberg, 2020-03-26)

I am a casual worker with 2 jobs working in schools and gyms. I have lost both jobs due to the crisis at hand. I am on a de facto sponsorship visa with a partner who is luckily still working, but may not be for long.

I am signing because I am currently living in Australia, on a student visa and have received no financial assistance options. I have lived here for almost three years, have my life here, pay taxes and have lost my job due to coronavirus. It seems there financial options for everyone else in this difficult time, except us!

Because I'm an electrician who has been laid off due to this virus, can't find any other work as everyone is now looking for common jobs like labouring and there is no opportunity to work.
