Larger bonus payments get spent on consumer goods like hi def TVs. No good for inflation.
I hardly think this is quite the case with most carers, dadpad. Many are in very desperate situations.
Yes, they
do need guaranteed, regular assistance ... & yes, a one-off payment does not help much with the long term expenses.
Me, I'm shocked that Labor even
considered withdrawing the one-off payment without muting
ongoing replacement funding at the same time.
