The other thing he lives in adelaide, going by his sig, cost of living is cheaper here, 80k wage in sydney would go nowwhere, In adelaide 50K would be living on the poverty line with a average house loan/one wage/kids, there certainly would be no cars being done up it would be just the essentials, based on average loans and house prices cheers darren

the grant is worked out on last years tax return upto 80k gets $950 80-90K gets $650 i think 90-100k gets $300 over 100k gets nothing last year i earnt less than 40K so i will receive the full $950 if it went on this years pay then id just scrape in for the $300 also, this is apparently a tax rebate/concession thing, not just a handout like the government has said, its not something they wanted to do, they HAVE to do it to try and not have a recession yet multimillionaire turnbull wont back it

950 will be minimal compared to the tax u and ur kids r gonna have to pay back when the libs get back in and fix the damage. most businees ppl can see that our economic situation is gonna get a lot worst yet, best to put the money away for when the recession does officially hit. my 2 cents
