I feel like any sort of federal welfare payment, like the Family Tax Benefit (A and B), should come with the disclaimer,

‘You may only be eligible if you:

  • Have two photogenic young children, or
  • Live in a swing electorate in Western Sydney, or
  • Live in Queensland.’

Because my single parent family on a teacher’s salary isn’t eligible for anything, while this charming family (in Western Sydney) earning a combined $142,000 a year is complaining that their hand-outs aren’t being inflation-linked for the next 4 years.

BOO HOO YOU GUYS.

Gosh.
