Single pensioners get a one off payment of $75 to tackle rising electricity prices. I had to laugh at this :lol:

But they "forgot" about people on the dole then included them today.
What a bunch of idiots.
Did they? Those on the DSP got it, wonder why not the others? Ah well, $75 won't go very far anyhow.

I thought it a bit weird that Newstart recipients were excluded to begin with.

My gas bill is usually quite a bit higher than my electricity bill.

My place is ELECTRICITY ONLY. During Winter I leave the heating on 24/7 and get an extremely good rebate from our Labor/Green Government. ;)

Hi BO,
How could they forget about the poor buggers on the dole?
Many of them are old & very sick and can't can't find work & get the DSP. or old age pension.
They have been brutally thrown on the scrap heap.
This is a very cruel society that we live in - it's dog eat dog -
and God help you if you're old.

Isn't it always? First surplus in over a decade though which Bill will swiftly reverse!

Small businesses and people earning between $48,000 and $90,000 will get decent tax breaks as they well should.

Can you show me where the actual surplus is? I can only see a forecast , this isnt going to be like their wage forecasts for last six years is it, you know.. Where they've had too downgrade it every single year
