I don't think we need to make this thread political.

I don't care who is in government, I just want them to do a good job for all Australians, but that it not what this thread is about.

It's about how you would spend the money, so try and be objective otherwise the admin team will just close the thread.

I'm single, work fulltime, got 2 dependant kids and a grandson who live with me and I support, daughter is at uni, 2nd year nursing and son unemployed since 3 months ago(gets nothing at all from the govt). This will help me put him through a TAFE course to help get a start as a merchant seaman and hopefully get the little bit of rust out of the Torry's front guard.
I don't know if it's right or not, but it WILL help me.
Cheers

1. The political side of all this shits me. It doesn't matter how much people whinge or argue - nothing is going to change now, or in the future. You just gotta leave all the decision making to those in parliament who have the power. For your avarage Joe, you just gotta do what you gotta do. Take the good with the bad. Personally I'm stoked to be getting my 900 bucks of cold hard cash! It's like the one bonus of the year, the highlight of endless bills... gimme gimme gimme....

2. How to spend it? We're heading over to Western Australia for a weeks holidays, so the money will be spent well I reckon... anything left over (hahaha) I'll whack onto the credit card or the home loan.

3. Totally agree with Skapinad - this sponsorship idea for Channel 7's court battle to ensure adults only lesbian Home & Away episodes has some real potential

sssshhh...... don't tell anyone Em.

The Government is always right and obviously you deserved this handout.

Enjoy.

Kevin made a big anouncement on cable broadband today....i didn't realise he was back in the country.

Its funny that his popularity is so high...I thought Australians were free thinkers. He can't buy my vote....no matter how much cash he splashes around. He started to show his true colours when he went off his head at the RAAFie chick on the plane to London...he is a media savvy dick head.

Bags puting this money on the credit card.

[Heath]

So did you go 'Woot' Heath? lol

haha I did today when I realised that I will actually have change from my grant after insurance for the rana. No complaints there, I had a lot of luck today

To even it up I will probably write it off tomorrow on its maiden voyage.

And my best mate recently bought a TIG and today came home with a bottle for her, so I don't need to buy my own welder, just some more brown bottles to sink while we work on each other's cars

Love it!

I'm in the same boat, Mitch, I earnt under $6000 last year (just below the tax free threshold)

It would be nice to get something, it'd be going straight back to the government though ($434 worth of fines racked up on the weekend...)

MESSAGE TO THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC

Some more good advice:

The federal government is sending many of us a $900 rebate.

If we spend that money at K-Mart or BigW, the money will go to China ..

If we spend it on petrol it will go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will go to Taiwan,

If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala,

If we purchase a car it will go to Japan,

If we purchase useless crap it will go to Korea and none of it will help the Australian economy.

The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on wine, loose women and beer, since these are the only products still produced in Australia.

Thank you for your help.

Kevin Rudd & Wayne Swan .
(Australian Prime Minister & Australian Treasurer)
