Prime Minister Scott Morrison has praised the Super Retail Group’s decision to voluntarily return $1.7 million worth of JobKeeper subsidies after posting a record half-year profit.

The move by Super Retail, which owns Supercheap Auto, Rebel Sports, BCF, and Macpac, was made public by the company in its trading update (pdf) on Jan 18, after it posted profits of over $170 million during the first half of the 2021 financial year.
