According to the daily tele - Parental leave is assured, but FTB A & B are to be "curtailed".

What do you suppose they mean by this and what effects could this have on your household?

We are hoping that business picks up with our YP ad, but we do tend to rely quite heavily on our FTB for rent and food. The essentials. Obviously with 2 things happened at once, its hard to say what affect any potential changes to the ftb will have, but I would hate to lose that security blanket in a time where trying to build a business is already difficult. We couldnt do it any sooner because of DHs CTS, but now he has had the op, the GFC makes everything iffy still. *sigh*

Anything else that may be popped out in the budget that might force a financial rethink?
