$900 coming your way, courtesy of your children

Imagine seeing Obamas massive stimulus package, I feel a bit sorry for our PM who has a much smaller stimulus package to reveal to Australia. Although the Senate has so far refused to pass it declaring it 'too big' so there's hope yet.

Not sure on the outcome yet, but we are feeling like we may have had a small win... not exactly what we pushed, but a compramise non-the-less. Not that all of the money is going to those that we proposed, but some.

Activism can work. Democaracy can work.

Wow.

Sounding like a stuck record here...

But when some of you lodged a return from an agent.

How long did it take for you to receive your normal tax return?

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 5:06 pm

about a month... sometimes a little longer

aroes · Post by **aroes** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 5:31 pm

Mine's never taken that long
Longest was about 2 weeks, or 14 working days
Mind you I've never lodged so far out of "normal" tax return season though so dunno if that makes a diff

Spoke to the tax office and Centrelink today, and its quite possible that some people might qualify for two payments.

EDIT: Due to a review of Mr. Conroy (http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Australian_go ... 8_Mar_2009) and his Internet censorship regime, I now believe Herr Rudd and Co. to be cunts.

I've heard that I can get two payments?

amzie · Post by **amzie** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 6:56 am

Well as i have worked and been a a student I qualify for both the working Australians bonus and the Centrelink bonus. I assumed that one would only be eligible for one bonus, but according to the ATO as they are different departments qualifying for one does not negate the other,as long as you fit the criteria you can receive both.

Most centrelink bonus's will be paid on the day you normally get you centrelink payment from the 24th of March.

If you have kids you would of got payments last week. Then those people will get their $900 too in april.
