    Yeah FTB comes to me and the difference between PPP and Newstart is like $3 so I figured it would be doable. It also means DH can be more realistic with his work choices (what will be doable with the kids etc). DH will be happy too, he's been stressing about how he could help with the kids, bond with DS2 and go to all the appointments/ interviews for jobs he has no qualifications for but they make you do

    yeah, we put DH on PPP rather than Newstart when i went back to work, for similar reasons. his eyesight and dyslexia with total lack of computer skills means a lot is just out of the question, but he would have had to look for x number of jobs per fn while i built up my hours again - it just wasn't worth the stress.
