due to this new issue in society, my work place has shut down and there are temporarily no work hours for me, I am casual, so I can not afford I pay my rent or bills!

With this new crisis comes the issues people now face trying to receive compensation, us hard working citizens that work day in day out to keep the workplace going have had a struggle trying to get support! This has caused many personal issues to arrise including an increase in stress!

And now to be told we can claim a certain amount of our superannuation instead of claiming any other benefits makes it even worse! Why should we dig into our retirement savings in order to servive a pandemic that we neither knew was coming nor had any choice over!
