Ok it's the first I've seen of it. I'm sure they'll be shouting it from rooftops everywhere soon if it's true, though with Scotty's padding of the CPI in recent days, we should get this increase around the 20th. Cheers bear Social security payments will increase later this month to help keep up with inflation.
Aged pension and disability support payments will rise $8.40 a fortnight for individuals and $12.60 a fortnight for couples.

If you don't want it you can put it in that Mekong basket for me. 2 extra long necks is not to be sneered at. They are just so generous with our gambling and alcoholic addictions. I was thinking of getting a box of red soon for $35.00 so only 10 times of saving the rise and I'll be pickled again. It really is a total insult to our intelligence. GGGRRROOOOWWWLLLL.

The $8.40 & $12.60 has also been reported in other publications as well. I don't understand; unless the $3+ is the rise and the rest is supplement and energy increases. Or is the Government skimming off Pensioners now?? Bear "The rates for 2.6 million Age Pensioners as well as 750,000 people on the Disability Support Pension and 295,000 Carer Payment recipients will increase by $8.40 a fortnight to $952.70 for singles, and $12.60 a fortnight to $1,436.20 for couples combined. These rates include Pension Supplement and Energy Supplement which are payable to all pensioners in Australia." www.miragenews.com/march-indexation-delivers-increased-524474/

I'm so angry Itsa Quite a few years ago when I was on one of my forced visits back in Oz an old school friend said to me; If I dropped a $2.00 coin in the street I wouldn't even bother to pick it up as it is nothing. Years later it is a weekly rise by these kind hearted politicians. That is a true story at least before 2011. I imagine he wouldn't bother picking up a tenner these days. What an insult to all the poor people of Australia today. Not my friend but Morrison.

Parents with three kids get extra $226, pensioners receive boost
From single parents to families and the elderly: These are the winners and losers in this year's budget cash splash from the government....
Families with three children will receive up to $226 extra in their pockets annually in a bid to keep pace with the rising cost of living during Covid-19 as the federal government also unveils a boost for one million pensioners.The federal government on Monday confirmed slight increases to family tax benefit payments, while families will be eligible for paid parental leave. Family tax benefit A and B payments will increase from July 1, which the Coalition said equated to $94.90 for families with one child, $156.95 for families with two, and $226.30 for families with three. That figure amounted to an extra $1.68 a fortnight for each child aged under 13 and $2.24 for each child aged over 13. Families and Social Services Minister Anne Ruston conceded the increases were “moderate” but said “every dollar counts”. Families with three kids who are eligible for family tax benefit payments are set to receive a boost of up to $226 from July 1. Source: Supplied “We are lifting the income caps on many of these payments for the first time since 2009 and 2011 because we are committed to standing shoulder to shoulder with Australian families as we recover from the pandemic,” she said. An extra $7.30 will go to families receiving part A at the end of the financial year and $3.65 for families receiving part B. Families earning up to $151,350 will be eligible for paid parental leave and dad and partner pay after the income cap was raised from $150,000. The age pension, disability support pension and carer payments have also received a boost, with the income-free area rising by $2 to $180 for individuals per fortnight and $4 to $320 for couples. Pensioner couples will be able to own $405,000 in assets before their rate is affected, up from $401,500, which the government said would amount to an extra $10.50 every fortnight. “The Morrison government is continuing our record investment to cement our recovery, create jobs and guarantee the support and services Australians rely on,” Ms Ruston said. amp.news.com.au/finance/money/tax/parents-with-three-kids-get-extra-226-pensioners-receive-boost/news-story/eab1c6003986abab5268a91dc6459f1e

Smoke & Mirrors; all totally irrelevant in the grand scheme of things and the current economic and political paradigm. It's not as though anyone on the above payments are even going to get that miserable $1.00 extra per week into their bank account is it; or any of the $10.50 either!! It's taken two hours for that to sink in!! Cheers bear

I'm no longer sure who makes me GROWL the loudest. Hank the liar, madman Morrison, Gestapo head Dutton or this total slag Ruston. You only had to see the story of the "AUSTRALIAN" family held in prison on Christmas Island today to see how relentlessly cruel they all are. Mutterings they may be released just before the next election to win votes. What is going on in Australia today?
P.S. I haven't forgotten, Tudge, Robert or Porter either. Actually every politician makes me GGGGGRRRRROOOOWWWLLLL!
