Government payments and subsidies
Has anyone formed a list of government payments to families?
So far I've come up with;
Child allowance, means tested
Start bonus back to school payment (for starting year 7 and year 5)
First time home buyers grant
Various energy efficiency subsidies
Anything else?

Re: Government payments and subsidies
There is anew one this current tax year which allows some costs of pubblic schooling to be partially reimbursed. I think things that can be included are home broadband for example.
I believe you can claim a 50% rebate up to a maximum rebate of $375. The claim will go into the JUNE 2009 self assessment so you should be collecting receipts NOW.
See here for more detail:
