I hadn't heard anything about this payout until now, but I won't plan any spending because I simply don't believe I'll see any of it.

I pay my tax on a quarterly basis - I don't own a business but neither am I on the PAYE tax scheme - but I bet I won't get a red cent of this.
(VERY happy to be proved wrong if you happen to be reading this Mr Rudd!)

Nearly everyone I know received last Decembers payout to those who receive Centrelink benefits, ie age, disability, unemployed, etc. As I work hard for my money I didn't see any of that.

(Don't get me wrong, those how have worked hard all their lives and are now retired deserve a decent break. I DO have issues however with those who have NEVER worked a day in their lives and YES I do know some people in that boat, who seem to get every perk the government throws around.)
