Retention of JobKeeper payments
Eagers Automotive said it would not repay approximately A$130 million received under the Australian Government's JobKeeper program. The company argued that the payments helped support approximately 6,500 employees and preserve about 2,000 jobs during severe pressure on the automotive industry. The decision drew criticism because the company had posted a profit and later reported accelerated profits.
