What would you do with the $900 that the Aust Government gives out?

You will still get the money as long as you had paid Australian tax in 2007-2008. The earlier you had paid the tax would mean receiving the bonus payout earlier. This money would help tide many jobless through.

Hi, as a visitor, you are not eligible for the bonus grant as you had not paid Australian tax. Maybe they should come out with something to make tourism boom like some rebates or such for visitors.....

It aright, I would pay whatsoever is to pay and th rest is mine.

Spending the free money looks like a good idea. In fact, many people I know had used the money to pay some rent and bought a dinner set! They keep saying this 'Dinner Set sponsored by the govt!' Looks like they are changing the money into some gifts and telling people its given by the govt. Sounds cheeky but then isn't it our rebated tax money that we had paid out firstly that is being refunded?

I dont think its like a refunded tax, its just government money trying to boost the economy.

what if you have not paid tax in 2007 or 2008 (because made under $6000) and you are a full time uni student and under the age of 21? wouldnt you think of all people some1 like this would need the money more then most people.. and what if some1 pays tax in 2009 do they still get the $900 or is it too late for that..?
cheers
