Redwarf Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 I hope so. :bash: I gave the buggers enough last year, I'm not interested in giving them more. Quote

Trev Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Maybe its the money we over spent on fuel last year :bash: Quote

They had some lady on the news who was saying that her family would get almost $4,000 as they have two kids in school, her and her husband. I don't think anyone under 16 should get it, even then 16 & 17 should be maybe $500, not $900. I work hard and pay my taxes just like you. Why don't I desserve it? Quote

You would not have a clue about how much it costs to raise and educate 3 kids. Maybe when you grow up, move out into the real world and have a family of your own, then you will realise you have it easy now. As for the bonus, when I see it, I'll believe it. Ours would just go towards a house deposit. Quote
Lexxi[ke35] Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I don't get it coz I don't work but the boyfriend's giving me $50 from his :D Probably going towards BIRTHDAY CRUISE FUEL! :P Quote
godlovesugly Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 gonna get some SSR mark 2s repaired and polished so i can finally put em on my 25 and the rest will go towards panel work and getting at least one of my cars ready for rego later in the year. Quote
Jason Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 1/3 of it will be going towards text books. Quote
JiP Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I may live with my parents but I have to support them and pay all their bills. So its as good as having 2 kids as i don't see much of my pay. Quote
