The baby bonus has changed so that teenage mothers (under 18) will not be paid in a lump sum but in weekly or monthly installments to make sure it is spent on the child not 'luxury' items such as tvs, cars etc...but i dont think it is just teens who are buying these so called 'luxury' items lol.
Plus the amount being paid until July 1st is $4100 and it does go up to $5000 after July
1st 2007...it was in the paper after the new budget was announced.
