I’m signing because visa holders pay enough tax and give this country a lot in regards to construction work/ farming industry etc that we should be entitled to something

I’m signing because I am a British citizen stuck in Australia. I have attempted twice now to leave the country which I have bought tickets and been denied access to fly. My visa will end soon and my funds will end soon after that

People on temporary visas help support the country by working hard and paying their dues to the country through taxes and sharing of culture. They deserve a fair go just as like any Aussie

I’m a Nurse on the front line - on a temporary visa. Why should we pay taxes and support a country that doesn’t support us back!

I’m signing because it is a disgrace that the Australian government is not helping/aiding the temporary visa holders when they participate and are relied on in so many aspects of the economy, such as farming and the construction industry.

I Believe this situation should not just benefit citizens, visa holders pay tax too and most of our home countries don’t care about us. COVID-19 is like the Titanic, and the 3rd Class is going to drown. I myself dont need financial support but know how it feels to live in AUS without any support.

I am not a student and will not benefit from this initiative, but it is about doing the right thing for all including temporary work visa holders and students. They contribute to Australian economy in good days, it’s time for Australia to do the right thing and look after them like any other residents in Australia
