University staff call for ‘RoboBoss’ program to reclaim “wasted billions” in JobKeeper payments
The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) has slammed the Morrison Government for the $12.4b that was wasted on companies which experienced no downturn in revenue during 2020.
The Union is calling for the return of that money and the reallocation to job-rich sectors which experienced mass job losses, like higher education.
“For a small portion of the JobKeeper money that was wasted on corporate handouts to profitable companies, we could have saved the 21,000 jobs lost from higher education,” said Dr. Alison Barnes, NTEU National President.
“We know of 1000 planned job cuts that are yet to be finalised; with a tiny fraction of this money these could be immediately saved.”

Alice Hutchinson, from Redcar, received her Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award three years ago. For Miss Hutchinson, the achievement was particularly special: prior to this, she was too nervous to even attend DofE meetings, and her anxiety levels were such that DofE youth worker Donna Leighton needed to accompany her to all early get togethers. As she participated more and more, Miss Hutchinson’s confidence grew. Now a holder of a First Class degree in Physical and Outdoor Education from Leeds Beckett University, she has just been named as one of only twenty Duke of Edinburgh Centenary Youth Ambassadors in the country.
