Treasurer's border warning as JobKeeper nears end

 
State premiers will be "more conscious" of the economic damage of closing borders once JobKeeper ends on March 28, according to Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.
Speaking to The Courier-Mail during a visit to Brisbane, Mr Frydenberg said the JobKeeper wage subsidy, which expires in 18 days, had been a "constant source of economic support" for states while their borders were shut.

But the looming end of the $100bn wage subsidy will remove a major safety net for premiers as they decide whether to shut their borders during any future outbreaks.
