          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:18):</by>  The eligibility criteria are outlined on the RevenueSA website. I won't go through all the detail; I can just refer the honourable member to it. Part of that was employing people, being able to demonstrate that they were COVID-19 impacted, so generally that meant that they had met the eligibility requirements for JobKeeper, and that is that their revenue had been impacted by 30 per cent or more in some comparative period post-COVID and pre-COVID and a variety of other eligibility requirements.</text>
        <text id="20200630d7a000aa9de94c21a0000285">Whilst there is no specific provision there which says you have to be solvent, I think the natural aggregation of the eligibility criteria will make it clear that if you were insolvent then you wouldn't be eligible.</text>
