Thanks BG. So FTB does continue if you're not eligible for Youth Allowance (I highly doubt we would be). I can't believe the payment is so low for kids of that age . I suppose they're able to get a part time job at that age anyway, which I'll be encouraging my kids to do.

Guillard said she was going to increase the amount paid to parents of 15-18 year olds. Do you know if that's really going to happen?
