More on my pro-handout discussion :

How is this even an issue? If I have worked, and worked enough as to earn above the tax threshold (including offsets) in crappy little $20/hour jobs - sacrificing my free time outside of study/uni; then darn right I'm entitled to double dip! Were parents "double-dipping" the last time because of multiple kids? Give me a break. I paid thousands in tax last year (which shows you how much I worked outside of study!), and I'm entitled to that refund just as much as any other worker is as well.

This is why I'm not a big fan of this enquiry. Just pass my handout bills already, the senate can debate for months on the rest of it for all I care! The idea of just $950 doesn't sound as nice as $1900 did.

I'm sure I won't get much discussion out of this though, most here seem to be anti-payout.

Same argument for those mothers though - why should those of us that put in that little bit of extra effort not be rewarded as well? I work, and study 7 days a week dammit, give me my money!

I really am concerned the government will compromise on that matter, and I'll lose half my carrot.

Furthermore, what of those that were full-time workers last year, but became midyear entry students last year (after the financial year)? There were quite a few of those last year. Best to just leave it as it is, or it'll become too complicated.

Oh, the horror! A hard working student who works until 1am will be able to buy books, pay fees, and maybe even buy lunch this year, who knows - maybe even catch a movie on the weekend! Just evil, that is.
