Yeah that is crap. The allowances should be paid to all students the same regardless of what their parents earn. Why should the kids be penalised because of what their parents earn.Quote:

Even at that rate an hour is worth an extra $20.00 in someone's pocket.

Yet if you are a "POOR" farmer in Williams with multi million dollar properties you kids get a whole heap more out of Centerlink than Lindsay gets when they go to uni.Quote:

Same logic..
Working Monday to Friday many people work 2 to 2 1/2 of those days for tax.
Andy, as you suggest, you are taxed as though that is the income you get for the year. I'm sure you will get plenty back come tax time.
I'm about to hit 40 K paid in tax this year (not FIFO) and it hurts, but I end up looking at it as, if your paying it, you are earning it!
Go and buy a new investment property, that will help off set some tax.

I can deal with paying tax; it just pains me to see how it is then spent.
Last time I checked more gets handed out in welfare each year than gets contributed in personal income tax.
Something just doesn't seem right there...

The age pensioners worked all their life and have paid a fair bit of taxes and also have helped in building or defending this country.
The balance $ 333 871 billion I do not know how are distributed but I guess that we have to look for the sick.
As an Australians we cannot have it in any other way.
