"Ultimately no employer should be discriminating against anybody, least of all discriminating against someone who is doing the right thing by every colleague and by that particular business [by not coming to work].
"No business wants to be shut down. No business wants to be becoming particularly famous because they've got an outbreak in their particular set-up.
"[The possible discrimination] is not unimportant, but we are far, far more focused on the most pressing issue and that is trying to supplement the income, to replace the income that those families will not get because they don't have sick leave, they don't have a safety net that they can fall back on.
"If they don't work the shift, they don't get paid, but now they don't have to work the shift, they can get the $300 payment, they can get the $1500 payment. That is direct support. That's where our focus has been.
"The broader issues thrown up as a result of insecure work, we should all come back to those, we absolutely should, because that has been exposed during this global pandemic as a really bad feature of equity and fairness right across our state."
