(assuming the govts plan goes through...) how will you be spending yours? $950 can get you a lot... infact look at what slow6 was selling for $960 (assuming you a tenner lying around) whole new ballsy turbo set up second hand. there are lots of goodies around for under 1k. personaly im close to having my car paid off in full, im realy hanging out for that first drive where i actually fully own the car. will deffinatly have it paid off in full assuming i get the grant.

it will be automatically payed into your account.the ato will decide who gets the payout.by earnings,i think if you earn under 80k u get 950 and 80 to 100k you get $300 over 100k you get nufn at all

Keep in mind that it's to stimulate the Australian economy, so if you can spend it on something locally, something that will stay in Australia, even better. Mine will probably end up paying for some labour, so hopefully that person can then spend it on something else as well. But at the end of the day, if it gets passed. It's your money and you can do what you want with it.
