Hmm Im assuming I'll get it and although it will be a relief to get $2000 I think its ridiculous really (well not in the case of single parents/pensioners/carers). We'll be banking whats left after we buy Ds2 a big boy bed and maybe get in front on our utility bills. I can see it being completely abused by some people though.

Personally I think this has nothing to do with the economy (cause this money aint gonna fix it that easily) and more to do with K-Rudd realising he's not doing a good job and that people arent so in awe of him anymore, so give $$$ = make friends In 6mths time everyone will still be struggling and complaining about it, whats he going to do, make it a regular thing?

Btw we should be thanking Johnny Howard for the money not Rudd, its because of him leaving our economy + money not - money that Rudd had the 10.1 billion to do this.
