MORE than $15 million will be ripped out of the local economy every fortnight if the Federal Government goes ahead with its cuts to JobKeeper payments at the end of September, according to Labor senator Raff Ciccone.

Senator Ciccone said new data had revealed that about 17,167 workers in Mallee could be worse off, costing the region up to $15,295,275 each fortnight.

With almost one million Australians unemployed and unemployment expected to increase, Senator Ciccone said it made no sense for the Morrison Government to withdraw support without a comprehensive jobs plan to replace it.

Senator Ciccone warned the planned JobKeeper cuts on September 28 would make the recession worse.

"Scott Morrison should reconsider his cuts to JobKeeper which are coming at the worst possible time for many workers, businesses and communities who are relying on it," Senator Ciccone said.

He said cuts and changes to the JobKeeper scheme would see local businesses and workers lose access completely, while others would have their payments slashed by between $300 and $750 per fortnight.

"JobKeeper's potential to do so much good and help protect Australians in the depths of this recession is being cruelled by the Prime Minister's botched implantation, poor compliance enforcement and premature cuts," Senator Ciccone said.

"The recession will be deeper and the unemployment queues will be longer because Scott Morrison is pulling support from the economy too soon and because he doesn't have a plan for jobs.

"Our community needs and deserves a comprehensive jobs plan to set us up for the recovery and the future."
