I was until recently traveling 1000klms per fortnight in a single weekend to pick them up drop them off . but they where relocated to South Australia and to keep in touch with them i moved too they are much closer now and the recent pension increases have helped so thank you for that but i believe that shared care arrangements need to be delt with on a case by case basis one formula dosent apply to all any futher help would be greatly appreciated regards ..

The $1000.00 as paid in previous years would have worked out at approximately $20.00 per week. Are we getting shafted or what?

Why am I not surprised? Carers deserve better than this...how much money do we save the country by sacrificing our own financial well-being to care for the disabled in the community?

I'm also looking forward to the education refund at the end of the financial year! What I'm worried about is how will this effect our economy - OK I will spend my money I have kids! The country is now officially in recession, if more of us lose our jobs and end up on the dole line how will the country pay for it? Where will the money come from? Labour has always been great at looking after the families but at what cost? I just hope that some more serious thought goes into how to get Australia out of the recession before throwing more money at people to win hearts! Australia is the lucky country lets ride this recession wave together and come out on top - hopefully soon! I loved receiving the money from the Government – who wouldn’t!!

Cash is a vote buy, cash must go to nation building, infrastructure and to create more jobs. The budget deficit forecast at $33.2 billion could top $50 billion all on bank card to Chinese. Kevin Rudd has not a clue. My grandchildren will pay for his mistakes. My mother taught us how to cope when the going got tough the tough got busy .No cash hand outs from government. No more baby bonus. Give the pensioners a rise, they never got a bonus ever. Get a garden on the go get chickens to have eggs. Cash hand outs never stimulate the economy because in the meantime most of our industry & trade have gone overseas .All the cash would have stopped that!!!!!!!!

yes I would like to thank you for the bonus it did come in handy for me at xmas time it helped buy xmas presents for my 10 grandchildren,food and to pay bills and to buy extra things for my great nephew also he is my foster son my great nephew which is now 12 years of age
I would just like to say when you have a child in your care
with serveer adhd and depression I would think there would be a lot more govement help for us instead of giving the big baby bonus which encourages girls to have babies and to have the govement to help them out please try to help the cares over 50 to help servive better as it costs a fortune to put them through school and to raise them
It might sound like I am ungratefull no I am not thank you again I just feel the carers that have worked now try to rare thier families ,grandchildren,great nephews ,nieces with illnesses should like A.D.H.D and depression also other illness should be looked at with the govement instead of baby bonus and giving a rise to every pensioner ,I am not talking about the old I am talking about the young ones that should get of thier buts and work instead of recieving the benifits
thank you
