Include self-employed in the 80% wage subsidy during Coronavirus outbreak.
Give self-employed workers the same help as those employed, assisting them and providing 80% of their normal wage if they are struggling because of the virus outbreak.
Self-employed people make up a huge part of our workforce. Not assisting them in a time of need will have huge impacts on their lives, their families lives and the communities they support.
