    Dont believe it was removed in the last budget. Im going to move this over to the Politics forum as they will have a better answer. :)

    (Mods; feel free to throw it back if need be)

    that is offically the grossest thing I have ever heard on the politics forum.
    cheers DF







    though if this extended to the teachers..........;)


    OT - I don't think that it was removed, but I did hear rumours that as part of the commission on taxation report, which will include the child welfare payments etc, this could be looked at. That was a few weeks ago though, before the news about the difficulties in means testing etc

    definately not gone yet. I work in public service and people are being redeployed to help the CWO's on the Back to School allowance scheme.
