I went to tafe for a year, worked 5-7 nights a week to earn $150-$250 a week (only did like 3 hours a night) and didnt get anything from the govenment.

haha

i worked full time and went to tafe full time. i got salary, ruddbux and i got my adv. dip

blow my raging dragon cock

I went to tafe for a year, worked 5-7 nights a week to earn $150-$250 a week (only did like 3 hours a night) and didnt get anything from the govenment.

This was years ago though, i meant i didnt get any assistance at the time, I just find it funny that kids cry now that they only get 150-200 a week from austudy. Im getting my $900 bucks, bring it on.

What? Something doesn't add up.

5 - 7 nights @ 3 hours = 15 - 21 hours.

Every unskilled job I've worked in addition to uni has paid OVER $20/hr. Supermarkets, bottle-o's, bars/clubs, whatever.

So more like $300 - $400, unless you're like 16 or just choose a bad part time job.

I bet even Macca's is $20/hr for adults.

You're pushin it now.

This was in like 99, think it was only 12-13 bucks an hour.

Well that makes a difference obviously :D

I've got mine.

i dont :(

My surname starts with 'A' - might have helped. Plus I've submitted eTax since it was invented.

I've got mine.

Orly?

The workers payment?

What's your surname start with?

EDIT: Bah posted exactly at the same time.

FFS, this is going to suck, mine starts with W.

ha-ha

I'm C but haven't got it.

Recommend hookers and coke. Serious thread.

Ok peoples, I want my monies! I am D, so hopefully soon, keep us informed who gets it and when, with their surname letter!

i thought they were doing it randomly by postcode? or is it surnames now? I am also D!

Just keep us updated on the surname situation, it will be pretty evident soon if they're going in order.

Yeah, I'm C too. Is it actually confirmed that thats how they're doing it? By surname? I thought it might have been by when you put in your tax return, which might have sucked cos I didn't put mine in till the end of last year, but if its by surname, thats awesome.

I heard frmo multiple ppl who said they heard on radio its postcode :(

its thursday and still no dice, postcode 4179 last name R FOR RETARD LOLOLOLOlo

im gona buy me some nice muffins and brownies :D

order by tfn;

please post your tax file number as well

No Krudd money, but at least its payday and I can afford to buy a coffee now.

arg i need my rudd money..

6 weeks off without pay arggg

Same, I want to start accruing interest on it on my savings account.

lol all 3% of it

it's not by surname - it's when you placed your tax return.

I did my etax before ANYONE I know.

No money for me.

you were just after me and i dont have it either

Sorry ladies - false alarm. I do some casual teaching and I just happened to be paid about $900.

Add me to the not yet received list.

Haha, if it's on tax return submission I will be last!! I had to pay $3,500 in 2007-08 so I didn't submit it until the very last day, and then didn't pay it until the day it was due.

i've closed the bank account i've had my tax returns paid into since forever, including last years.

so they will probably try and send it to that then it will bounce back and i'll get some lame cheque :\

Im a C, and Did my tax return pretty early, havent got yet, I reckon it will start coming next week.

You fail at life Pinky.

:(

my parents got theirs, and they did theirs pretty early - smith

so I doubt it's alphabetical

perhaps it's numerical based on tfn like hast said.

So the oldies (who i assume have lower tfn's becuase they got it first) get it first?

i've closed the bank account i've had my tax returns paid into since forever, including last years.

Unlikely. We just finalised all our end of year s*** for 2007-2008 so we can now lodge our individual returns.

I bet I'm after you!

d*******. We are beneficiaries of a Family Trust and Company setup so our tax is just a little more complicated than yours.

According to the accountant its not due until May. We're getting in early for the ruddbucks.

You also win the 'justifying yourself to people on the internet that you don't know award'.

Hmm. You really are a bit agro on teh QGLs lately aren't you?

it's us, not him

you clowns. cutoff was end of oct for self-submitted tax returns, end of may is for tax-accountant submitted tax returns. obviously hoggy with his convoluted business isn't gonna be doing it by e-tax on his dinky home pc, is he now.

Man it was a joke!@!@@

teehee hogfather has a dinky home pc

Mine was said tongue-in-cheek, but anyway, over-reaction accepted. Forums are emotionless mediums.

And, you incorrectly made the assumption that I am not also a beneficiary of a Family Trust and Company setup, and that therefore your tax is somehow more complicated than mine - which you have no idea about. Just for the record.

cant we all just get along?

No! DAMN IT! NO! WE CAN'T.

Hmm, just playing with GnuCash. It's greatly improved, but probably still not production ready. Might use it for home budgeting 2009-10 though.

If you were a beneficiary, or had complicated tax arrangements then you wouldn't be subjected to the October deadline that you spoke about, would you :)

The October deadline is for simple, PAYG based returns. My accountant actually asks me to wait until the new year so they can get through all the other stuff first.

Unless of course I am an individual that is uniquely versed in the complexities of applicable tax law and I decide to lodge it myself.

I don't like where this is going. Can we talk about something else, like Rudbuxx.

Ahh but you said you left it to the last minute as you had a tax debt! If you had uber tax powers then you would realise that May is your deadline, not October.

I think our is going to go into the general fund of moneys for use. I tried to come up with a compelling XBOX-based plan but it didn't make it through the senate.

i got my group cert like a week late gg

I tried to come up with a compelling XBOX-based plan but it didn't make it through the senate.

Sif not have a unicameral arrangement like Queensland.

Ironically mine is going straight back to the goverment, through rates and 2 car rego's

Well, the GF got her Ruddbux today. Her last name begins with one of the later letters of the alphabet where as mine begins with one of the earlier. She and I both lodged our returns at the same time. Maybe they're doing pot luck? :D

don't tell us what the first letter of your last name is, WE MIGHT f***ING KILL YOU

Good news Syco.

Just to confirm for students, my Centrelink finally got approved, I got backdated my 8 weeks of payments. I got the $950 student bonus also. So long as you get off your ass and get your payment done during this semester (the cutoff is late June I believe), you will be backdated the $950 bonus.

Though I'm still eligible for the $900 workers one, I can't see why not and multiple government people have confirmed it.

So good news for full time students that paid tax.

I have a friend whose father is an accountant and looks after his tax. He's also a full time student and received the $950. His father looked at the tax portal and he has a $900 credit waiting also. So I'd say you'll get both lots :)

Now damnit, I want my Ruddbux. I need a new 360!

WHERES MY f***ING RUDDBUX?!

be patient dave, kevin has plenty for all

got mine today :D f*** yeaaaahhhhh

i think i got my $900 today cause i have exactly $900 more than yesterday and i didn't get paid from work but CBAs netbank is down so i can't confirm

STAND BY RED LEADER

i was just on netbank. no $900 for me.

I spent my first lot of free money on rego + car insurance. Second lot will go towards car service! Exciting times.

So much for a new computzors :(

Both lots are going on my car loan :(

Woot, got my money today!!
Now to spend it on booze, drugs, hookers and then waste the rest!

car service + electricity bill ftw, thank you Sir Rudd and ur round table of sexy knights!!!

Now to spend it on booze, drugs, hookers and then waste the rest!

Yeah cause boozing drugging and hookering is the best investment you'll ever make.

The problem is Australians are addicted to gambling, alcohol and prostitutes.

you forgot plasma/lcd tvs

infi, I agree with you there, wholeheartedly.

Oh I don't believe that, I was just referring to this chap.

and that beard just isn't winning him any friends.

I ordered one of these yesterday with Centrelink ruddbux,

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41B5O74R86L._SL500_AA280_.jpg

Free money, do whatever.

Nice one Rudd!

Might pick up one of these tracking suits in prep for Wingsuits next year.

http://www.parachut.fr/images/Impact small.jpg

haha mulims are awesome

booze drugs & hoes are more fun than being addicted to wife-beating, invisible overlords & head hankies imo. but i am open minded... to each thier own ;D

I wonder if he filed a tax return last yr? Is being religious fanatic even a job?

He's just pissed off because he won't be getting his Ruddbux.

infi i was aware of what you were referring to, especially since you've referenced that multiple times now and it's getting quiet old. Saying i was agreeing to what you're saying is taking the piss out on you.

You lose.

Just checked my account and it looks like my ruddbux are in there now.

My Ruddbux are no where to be seen, knowing my luck I'll get it on the final day of handouts, hahahahahahahah.

I want my prostitutes and strippers and STD's NOW!!!!!

I still haven't got my Ruddbucks!

When I get them I'm going to spend them on things I was going to spend my money on anyway...

Awesome idea to give free money!

Still no Ruddbux. :(

No ruddbux for me either!

I lodged my tax electronically, early, plus my given name, last name and nationality all start with A!!

a****** :(

got my 2nd lot of ruddbux today... what to spend this lot on???

I have a mysterious amount that is uncleared in my account, it doesn't appear to be a regular payment either

maybe its my rudbux teasing me

I lodged my tax electronically, early, plus my given name, last name and nationality all start with A!!

a****** :(

Your given name, last name AND nationality are 'Arsehole'!? Wow. Tough gig, mate. Bad luck with that.

Looks like it's totally random. My GF got hers and we both lodged out tax together and live in the same house.

All cheque and EFT payments will be made using a post code selection process that is randomly generated, ensuring all post codes are evenly distributed to each state and territory each night (using the Australia Post predetermined percentage spread). For this reason and because of security concerns, we are not planning to publish a distribution schedule.

oh yeah, just got my package stimulated this morning. feels good. xbox 360 time for me.

So I got my $900 ruddbux today to but I also got a letter from the ATO I owe $1500


Crikey cool bananas mate

Nothing coming through here yet.

It sounds like it's wrapping up though, 1 month till deadline now.

my gf got her's BUT WHAT ABOUT ME! Err i guess ill wait it out a bit longer before i take a shotty into centrelink and pew pew some bogans.

Also funny rule, if you were to punch a centrelink staff that aren't officially allowed to punch you back.

oh yeh! i has my rudd bux

17APR09 ATO TAX BONUS - AUSTRALIAN TAXATION OFFICE 900.00

Also funny rule, if you were to punch a centrelink staff that aren't officially allowed to punch you back.

I probably wouldn't punch you back either, easier to claim workers comp and call the cops to take you away
take a few weeks off with full pay, then claim you can't come back to work because of fear for your own safety

so then centrelink pays you ou... ok i'm dreaming, but cmon govt workers are slack

my mystery payment turned out to not be ruddbux, but insurance payout bux

still waiting

I wish I had a Govt job.

No you don't. Govt jobs are soul-destroying.

Who would want to work at Centrelink, seriously.

The amount of drugs you would need to smoke to make it tolerable would really cut into your paycheck.

any government job where you deal with the public would be horrible and require drugs;

actually, any job dealing with the public would be unbearable

Guy at work got his cheque in the mail yesterday.. no ruddles cash for me though :(

I wouldn't be surprised if half the people going into centrelink to get their cash were also dealing on the side ^

No you don't. Govt jobs are soul-destroying.

Only if you let them. With a healthy dose of the real world every now and then you can safely get by.

But I have my ruddbux and so does my mrs. And so does a mate of mine who lives in my suburb. Check your bank balance Tollazor, it's our time to win

mine came on wed

I just got a cheque. I had my tax deposited via EFT last year, thought they where supposed to do the same with this. Ahh well.

parnter & her best friend both got theirs this morning

No monies for me yet. My govt job is great since I don't deal with the public. Any job that doesn't involve customers is good imo.

Just found out the GF doesn't get it "your adjusted tax liability for 2007-08 is greater than nil, and" she paid $750.40 and it needed to have been over $751 and doesn't get the $950 student bonus because we live together & I earn too much, no plasma's and Xbox 360 for me :( hahahaha.

wow, boned ^

they should have given her $899.60

If anyone didn't update their address after moving assuming it'd just be EFT'd into your account I'd be making a call. When I deposited my cheque the chick behind the counter said she's had 5 today already who said they had the tax return EFT'd to an account but got a cheque.

I just love it how people think that $900 or even $1800 will fix their miserable existences. hahahahahaha

I will fix the quality of my portrait pictures!

(new lens ftw)

I just love it how people think that $900 or even $1800 will fix their miserable existences. hahahahahaha

It will almost clear the rest of my car loan, hence making my miserable existence a lot less miserable ;)

Repaying debt, that's what I like to hear. Ignore Kevin.

It doesn't need to fix anything to be helpful

O rly. Any other platitudes which may apply?

im pretty sure if minxy has less debt, it will free up moneys for her to spend on some nice new clothes, or some special treat for herself

most likely something she wouldnt have bought if krudd hadnt saved the day!

let's all be helpful

i mite purchase infi a gift with my ruddbux when i get them;

he seems unhappy and sad

what better way to cheer him up!

still no free moneys here

F5 F5 F5

every time i hear someone has received ruddbux i become unhappier. so keep posting how you haven't received your ruddbux pls. it's a free thrill for me.

it's not based on postcode as I know a married couple, one has received it, the other hasn't. Don't try and apply logic to the distribution.

No cash, Robbo.

Neck up ya parrot.

I just love it how people think that $900 or even $1800 will fix their miserable existences. hahahahahaha

Its called consumer confidence. And your statement proves that it works.

I just love it how people think that 1 political party is inherently wrong and another unquestionably right.


Saw an interview with Dominique Strauss-Kahn, where he was talking about how the various international stimulus packages were important, and went further to say it was important that were not bound up with protectionist wording. Even hidden protectionism where the governments attached a buy at home slogan.

People need to buy from where-ever and not just from home, because of how all the world economies are interwoven.
Everyone stops buying chinese crap, the chinese lose jobs, they buy less stuff themselves, means they buy less resources, means resource prices drop, means some mines become unviable, mines close, and less people employed in related industries eg. wharfies etc etc etc

In the normal hurdy gurdy of life, people work and produce something, and in return receive consideration for that labour. wages, sale price whatever.

What economic transaction is taking place when a government incurs debt to hand out money to people for no reason whatsoever. What wealth is created by this transaction? NONE

The EU countries, Germany in particular, have realised this and explicitly rejected the US and UK's stimulus plans, at the G20, advising they would be incurring no more debt for stimulus plans.

its definately being done by postcode

just they are chunking it up within postcodes;

All cheque and EFT payments will be made using a post code selection process that is randomly generated, ensuring all post codes are evenly distributed to each state and territory each night (using the Australia Post predetermined percentage spread). For this reason and because of security concerns, we are not planning to publish a distribution schedule.

no ruddbux for me yet

damn you 4059.

awesome stuff. maybe the government is bankrupt?

every time i hear someone has received ruddbux i become unhappier.

Well then I wish I was receiving Ruddbux every day.

It's totally random, just because one person in your post code gets picked doesn't mean you have. My GF got hers 3 days before me, we live in the same house. The way I read the above is they're randomly selecting people from each post code. So say, 100 random people from each per day kind of thing.

Ah goddamnit!! Just checked my netbanking and I got some of this cursed Ruddbux. Goddamn free money!, grrrrr

got my ruddbuxx
now tf2 doesnt run at 20fps all the time!
woohooooo

I agree with what your saying.

Thing is that China is making too much stuff. If I'm buying some el-cheap0 sweat shop item I try and spread it around. I'd rather give some dorrahs to some poor c*** in Malaysia, India, Thailand etc than give everything just to the poor c***s in China.

still no ruddbux for me, wifey got it thou :(

Wifey? Same chick? congrats

Have you got your Ruddbux yet?

MONEY MONEY MONEY!

$900 extra my account this morning.

Still waiting..

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Bank balance is not $900 richer. Not happy Kevin.

It occured to me recently that this month I'll have this hitting my account, in addition to $600 I had completely forgotten a friend owed me, and in a few months time will have a fat tax return (I've been continuing to have work take HECS out of my pay even though I finished paying it off back in September).

Bah Raven.

Within 1 week

Got $2000 backpayment Centrelink
$950 student bonus
$900 workers bonus

Got to love nearly $4k of money for absolutely ZERO work.

no wonder you can buy f***en parachutes and s***

No s*** ey.

I do a bit of part time packing to pay board etc., the $960 I get a month off Centrelink is purely government sponsored skydiving, ~6 - 10 jumps a week via the taxpayers.

To me, it doesn't matter, because it's just free money :)

government sponsored skydiving, ~6 - 10 jumps a week via the taxpayers

wat!?

oh please do explain!

960/4/10 = 24 per jump?

haha god you're a dead s***

960/4/10 = 24 per jump?

Yeah, you can get jumps for $25.

you are what exemplifies centerlink scum chubbles :)

more power to him imo, I couldn't live like that personally
got s*** to do and it costs money

Still waiting on mine..Won't last any longer than 2mins though, goes straight to paying off my ge card.

chub where do you go just out of curiosity, its something i'd like to try one day

Also curious about where, Chub (also I hope your legs break). Do you jump at 10,000 or 14,000.

Home dropzone is Caboolture. Cessna 182, $40 to 10,000ft, $25 hop n pop 3500ft.

Ramblers out Toogolowah has Cessna Caravans, $45 to 14,000ft (climb rate 1000ft/min).

my mate has a cessna 172, if you knew what you were doing would it be safe to jump from that?

Not really, it would have to be setup for jumping, open door flight etc.

You can't jump by yourself either randomly, they're bandit jumps and typically people need a D license (200 jumps).

Either way you have to get trained somehow.

Checked my bank account this morning and I got my Ruddbucks.

EDIT: And I paid off $80 on my credit card and put the rest into savings. Thanks Kevin.

still aint got mine

wheres my fking ruddbux?! i need it for my rc car already

shad wtf, money cleared on a sunday for real?

chub - ta, is there any limits to the jumps?
ie can't be over a certain height or weight?

What post code are you Shad/Jor BTW???

Lodged it from 4075 Oxley.

shad wtf, money cleared on a sunday for real?

Yep. Back in my centrelink days, monday was my payment day but it would clear on the Sunday.

ie can't be over a certain height or weight?

My cousin got to skydive because his friend, who had paid to go, was too heavy and would have overloaded the plane.

No height limit as far as I know.

Even for short people, sitting in a C182 is a total pain in the ass, if you're tall, it's seriously going to suck.

Weight limit is 255lbs. But as pointed out above, if you're 254lbs, you're going to overload the plane 99% of the time and someone has to miss out :(

Plus big guys have hard landings.

$400 for a pair of shoes...

Another day, another non stimulated ticcles.

havent been able to see if mines there today. netbank is overloaded.

refresh ravn0s. had the same problem.

obviously krudd didnt get my calls, or emails, else im sure he would stimluated me already;

At a family dinner the other night, it seemed like everyone was getting the money except for me and my gf, who both earn the least amount of money.

how does that work

I'm assuming the payments are on their way and I'm just whinging... hopefully we both fall under the "low income" category.

I'm also still waiting for Rudd to stimulate me.

come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn stimulate me!

this is excellent news that so many people haven't received their payments yet!

i got mine on saturday so suck my fat black cock infi hahahaha


oh and i put it into a savings account, lol!

Sorry exis, but infi only has eyes for Howard's cock.

I received my $900 ATO bonus. Now let me calculate my balance.....$900!!!! :-))))

I think I'll be one of the unlucky ones who has to ring up on May 16 demanding my free money. ATO has my old address and I only got it changed to the new one today :(

Pinky - looks like a shop. Send me your NetBank login details so I can confirm it's not.

jeez pinky that pic of your account is a nigerian scammers wet dream.

p.s kruddles dropped the 'R' bomb today.

I only realised yesterday i've changed banks since my last tax return.

Called up and changed bank details.. probably will have to wait in mammoth ques in may also.

jeez pinky that pic of your account is a nigerian scammers wet dream.

You don't think I motion blurred enough? Here's a modified version, just for you and the Nigerian scammers. If you can work out any personal information from that and THEN scam me (NB: I am un-scammable), then you deserve all the money you can get out of my account.

From SMH

Yet more evidence of the misuse of Santa Rudd's Christmas bonus has emerged, with a Blacktown man telling police he blew $800 of the PM's hard-earned on a .44 calibre revolver from a black market gun dealer in Cabramatta.

haha

A spokeswoman for the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, refused to comment on whether the purchase would stimulate the economy.

of course it will stimulate the economy, possibly the funeral and hospital economies.

I got my money. Into investments it goes!

I only realised yesterday i've changed banks since my last tax return.

ah s***! that reminds me..

:(

Exodus you should probably have yours today. Quite a few of us in Townsville got stimulated overnight. :)

you're screwed matchfixer

apparently you needed to have your new bank account details to them by mid march

i rang up and changed mine just after they started sending it, but that won't be any use

so now you have to wait for a lame cheque to be sent, after they send it to your bank account and it bounces back.

scratch that, i just checked my bank then and i'm $900 richer than i was yesterday :D

so ring up and change your bank details, you might be able to get in before it's sent

At the risk of making inifi happier, I've got nothing still.

I stimulated the House & Contents insurance industry...boring

i'm stimulating the automotive panel beating industry with mine :\

K-rudd has it in for me (and wifey) :(

We got both of ours last week. And already almost half was paid back to rate bills, phone bills and parking fines....

Still no love from KRudd.

got a cheque in the mail today from the ATO and it was for more than i thought i was entitled to. LOLOL.

^ seeing as you are so against this, I see no harm in you sending it to charity or back to the ATo stating you utter contempt of Krudd.

ps I got my cheque today so it's all good.

I am terribly against it, but the law is the law. I didn't vote for it but I just have to wear it. Sort of like Medicare Levy.

scratch that, i just checked my bank then and i'm $900 richer than i was yesterday :D so ring up and change your bank details, you might be able to get in before it's sent

Nice. I was gonna ring today from work but i got carried away making the company money instead of my own.

I gotta get my priorities straight i tell ya.

Those who've got it are your last names before R

You can flick it to me infi.

dirty news.com.au link

AUSTRALIA faces the biggest collapse in tax revenue since World War II, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said today.

oh no, better give out some more money to stimulate the economy.

we are on the way to recovery. local economy will do fine.

even in the us there is clearly still a lot of confidence in the financial sector.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8012527.stm

I still don't understand how the Yanks can turn things around when all they are doing is printing money?

They won't. Printing money cannot make a country richer.

well drawing money bills with crayons wouldnt >_<

Those who've got it are your last names before R

Yes, but not me, ps it goes by postcode.

I still don't understand how the Yanks can turn things around when all they are doing is printing money?

Did you read the link? There might have been a hint of sarcasm in there.

post your post code who's ever has gotten it.

restecpa for the 4-0-3-4

I didn't vote for it but I just have to wear it.

Thats the biggest load of crap infi, if you realy are so against it you would make a stand and donate the money to charity or something, but you wont.

What exactly are you going to do with it? if you want to support jobs and the Australian economy you should hire a tradie to fix up the house or something, which, contrary to the sensationalist articles that newspaper and media run about 5 random people pissing it away or just saving it, is exactly what alot of people are doing.

Even if you do just send it to a charity, you will get a tax deduction, which you then could spend directly on australian goods.

My postcode is 1111 1011 0001

Thats the biggest load of crap infi, if you realy are so against it you would make a stand and donate the money to charity or something, but you wont.

I might be defending infi here but he's said before that he donated $900 to the fire victims.

Thats the biggest load of crap infi, if you realy are so against it you would make a stand and donate the money to charity or something, but you wont.

how is that taking a stand? how does it make any difference to the $10B dollars extra on the deficit?

two wrongs don't make a right, you know.

Import from America or save the money.

more post codes people!

Thats the biggest load of crap infi, if you realy are so against it you would make a stand and donate the money to charity or something, but you wont.

It's all about freedom of choice. Why am I required morally or ethically or whatever, to give away money that I did not ask for? You have not established that point. Shouldn't I be free to choose how I spend it regardless of whether I asked for it?

If everyone was taxed $900 instead and you did not agree, would you refuse to pay it?

i know like 4 people from 4034 that got theirs on the same day i did

Did tax return at 4509
Now living at 3123

$900 poorer still :(

maybe the government hates old people like you and spook

Did you read the link? There might have been a hint of sarcasm in there.

No, you caught me out there.

BREAKING NEWS

Just got an email from my accountant to say my cheque has arrived at their office. TICCLES GOT STIMULATED!

im so ronery

raff out roud

precious lugnuts!... i mean ruddbux.

*stimulated*

the ato have stated a random selection of a set number of people from a random selection of postcodes get the money each night, so it isn't done on postcode alone.

it would better summarised by saying it is just random.

THIS IS BULLs***.

Agreed

Woohoo! Got mine this morning and so did a bunch of mates. Time to pay off some more debt!

It's a crazy cash giveaway, just like on the radio station!

postcode: 4011

Still haven't got my monies =(

Pretty much the only person I know who hasn't got theirs.. Sucks also because i'm on forced leave, and had not alot of money to do much... goddamn.

the way I read the ato website was that they pay a certain number of random people from each postcode every night, based on how many people live there, so say they have 45 days they are paying, and 45 people live in your postcode, 1 person randomly gets the money each night, so postcodes with more people living in it will have more people paid everynight, but it makes no difference to when u would actualy get it, its a random time between when they started and the 16th of may.

Pretty much the only person I know who hasn't got theirs.. Sucks also because i'm on forced leave, and had not alot of money to do much... goddamn.

I remember you used to work at woolies... what did you do, try to molest a customer?

havent got mine yet either :(

woot got my cheque today!

we are on the way to recovery. local economy will do fine.

fools rally

used to work

Correct!
Over three years ago... Forced leave is due to me having to much stocked.. I'm a leave hoarder.

Can someone outline the effects of this debt to me? How will it affect my overall life? (I am talking about when the recession ends btw)

Why the f*** would they do it so staggered and randomly ? Any economists care to enlighten me ?

Why not just go BAM

Today's debt is tomorrow tax revenue plus interest which compunds on unpaid amounts. So unless the thing you buy with that debt increases in value at a rate faster than the debt itself is increasing, as a country you will be growing poorer. Real assets and infrastucture tends to increase in value - universities, bridges, roads, hospitals. Cash handouts do not increase in value.

Secondly in the future, more revenue will be required to both repay the debt and maintain today's level of public services. This means that more taxes will be required.

Cliff's Note: Today's debt means increased taxes tomorrow (or reduced services, you choose). Unless you like paying higher taxes, this is generally considered a bad outcome.

It was only a few years ago you were paying 47 cents on the dollar for income $60,000 and above.... With this huge amount of debt it won't be too many years until we're in the same situation again.

still waiting :|

they wre worried about Australia post having tearies and being overworked. ( i dunno but i kinda thing they go past each letter box ANYWAY.)

I mean if i was chief of ATO.
i would of sent all the phat lewts to peoples bank accounts within the first week,

then stagger the Letters and Cheque's mail outs as they have been done now.

i mean WTF i don't need a letter to know i got $900 the bank balance will show it.

i can get the letter 2-3weeks later like normal tax letter.

WANT MA MUNNEY DAMMIT.

Why the f*** would they do it so staggered and randomly ? Any economists care to enlighten me ? Why not just go BAM

Remember, this is a labour government..

Why the f*** would they do it so staggered and randomly ? Any economists care to enlighten me ? Why not just go BAM

Cash flow perhaps?
Administration?

Could be dozens of reasons.

Why the f*** would they do it so staggered and randomly ? Any economists care to enlighten me ?

There is a valid reason and it was explained on the radio but I don't remember it word for word. Something to do with detering theives stealing the cheques from mailboxes etc etc and something else.

geeez... didnt see that one coming revenue shortfall

At least the deficit is not as big as the UK £175Bn As a result new tax rate of 50% introduce....

dont think it wont happen in Australia, keep the debt coming in and future years will have the tax rates increased... stupid waste of Taxpayers' money.

After living in a 20% tax rate country, going back to 40%+ is a kick in the balls.

I'm in ur mailboxes, stealin' ur ruddbux

Can someone outline the effects of this debt to me? How will it affect my overall life? (I am talking about when the recession ends btw)

You'll pay more tax in the future and see very little return for the extra $ other than helping the government (labor or liberal) to service debt. If anything, service levels will drop while taxes increase.

Can't they have a raffle or something..?

Woo-hoo Ruddles stimulated me and wifey overnight.

Love a threesome.

Where's the place to get hooked up with some hookers and coke?

How much we want Teevee's!
All those years of sweat and tears,
Now we get some cash for free!

I just heard something on the TV before.

Apparently Rudd wants to borrow $300 billion total instead of $200 billion now.

Oh great.

Hey everyone, would you mind giving your $900 back?

I'm in ur mailboxes, stealin' ur ruddbux

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/5605/3000680catpeersoutoflet.jpg

yeah thats right
and that's why they did it sporadically by postcode so no-one knew to letterbox steal.

Duh. I'm stealing your cheques not written to me because that would work...

Yes Mr bank man, I'm Jake Smith... yes... ....

lol identity fraud fail ^

This thread was getting too far down the page for my liking so I've decided to post in (bump) it.

No money here yet, and others in neighbouring post codes have :(.

oh the humanity Where's my bucks Ruddy ??????

Negative on the monies here as well. I don't want to be the sucker that gets it on the 16th of May.

none here, its a conspiracy.

even though i love krudd the most, he hasnt paid me:

spewin;

its cause you some how managed to use that f***ing colon two times both of which could have easily been avoided f***

one was a semi colon;;

I hate him and he paid me more than I thought I was entitled to. CAN YOU SEE THE IRONY IN THAT?

Wifey is still not stimulated

(LOLOLOLOLOLOL)

Wifey is still not stimulated

I hope you're doing a better job than Rudd is.
