As a visa holder (485-post graduate visa).
Even though I’m in theory still a star casino employee, I will receive no salary after the two weeks covid-19 emergency help.
Considering that I’ve been hired on the 10/03/2020 I have ZERO annual leave days, also for not being a citizen or permanent resident I have no access to centerlink.
So basically I’m by myself, of course I have the option to go back home and waste all the time and money that I invested to be here in the first place, without mentioning the risk that a 32 hours trip to South America might bring to my health.
Also, airlines are selling tickets on highest prices, with no insurance and no guarantee if the flight will departure and if I will make to the final destination or be grounded in during scaling!
