Very much reeks of vote buying. “Hey Australia, look at all this free money we are passing on to you.”
I mean, thanks I guess, but I am already getting a massive benefit from the stage 3 tax cuts. Why not take that $3.5 BILLION and invest it in something that will keep energy prices down for ever, rather than band-aid over it for 12 months. By all means, give the rebate to low income earners and those in real need of it, but people who are not struggling in the slightest should not be getting the rebate.
I guess the government have to play to the lowest common denominator in the voting base. Not all Australians understand that this money isn’t actually free and it will cost us in the long run (every subsequent budget for the next decade is predicted to be in deficit rather than surplus).

It would be nice if “smart” home devices fell under this category. If the devices software is the reason that the device fails to continue to work, then they should be held responsible, and made to remedy a fix…or full refund.
Private schools have different holidays to public schools, right? Does that mean when driving past a private school you need to know specifically if that school is on holiday or not? Or is it all done only on the public school terms?...
Private/non-government school holidays often vary from state/government school holidays.
There is no definitive set of school holiday dates that applies to every private school.
Please check with each individual school for accurate dates.
So pretty much what I am getting from this; where ever you plan to travel, the onus is on you to plan out and check with every private school that is on your path to your destination.
What a pain in the arse. If private schools get to deviate their holidays from public schools, shouldn’t they be the ones to be informing the general public?
Cant park there mate
