I am pretty sure it is not increasing until next year.

There were some rumors a while ago that a few people brought up, however I think this was miss interpreted by the media, as it was mentioned at the same time as the announcement that as at the 1st of July parents under 18 would get the bonus in fortnightly payments rather than a lump sum.

it is a bit dissapointing that no retractions have been published, as I remember there being a lot of confusion.
