“Lump sum for families to ease carbon tax pain”
CASH bonuses for families of up to $100 per child and $250 for pensioners will be deposited into bank accounts within weeks as the Gillard Government fights a public backlash over its carbon tax.
But taxpayers will be forced to pick up the tab for a public education campaign, with a multi-million dollar advertising blitz planned.



Well I HOPE that the Australians realize those bonuses are temporary. If they don’t go away, the utility charges will soon transcend the bonuses, plus, the taxes,–the CAPS, will repress jobs, causing more to depend on the Dole. Is that what a Noble Pensoner wants for his Grandkids–for their Da to have LESS, so ALL then have LESS? With jobs likely to be KILLED, I view Gil-LARD-ists as the Marxian KILLERS they are, imo. Gil-LARD knows how Aussies are TAXED and Cap’d(TAXED), and her solution? MORE Caps(taxes), and Taxes!
