Looks like no increase in Jobseeker (big miss IMO). Everything was pre-released, so no big announcements.

Looks like no increase in Jobseeker (big miss IMO). Everything was pre-released, so no big announcements.
Queenslanders are also getting a $1000 rebate from the state government. So in total, $1300 off our energy bills in the next financial year.
Kind of shocked the federal government are giving $300 to every household.
What’s the point of a rebate? It’s just going to double the impact of price rises next year.
I guess it might give a break (and swing enough votes) long enough to push through more serious long term change.
If it’s not being followed up with anything long term it’s a complete waste.
He’s getting grilled about that now on 7:30 report!
I don’t pay any attention to this stuff at all. I should probably feel guilty about that, but I honestly just sort of trust the super-engaged to keep the government of the day to account.
Thanks for this thread, I wouldn’t have even known about the budget and the main points of what is in it without it.

So glad they sold the power companies that they can give every house $300 to pay them.
