    That is full on! I haven't heard anything. Anyone else heard anything?
    i googled to try to find info (figured it would be on a press release or something) - the last time it was mentioned in Au was back in 2005...

    the safety net is already means tested to a degree - if you qualify for FTBA as a family, you get your safety net at half as much (so for us, it might be 1100 for ftba family 550) - i can't see anyone going so far as to try fully means testing it at all - the logistics would be impossible! can you imagine people who AREN'T qualifying for ftba having to estimate income - pensioners etc?? i doubt it!
