        Can the #BatmanVoters afford to ignore what @billshortenMP @gedkearney @AustralianLabor have in store for their future lifestyle/prosperity? Their politics of envy does not bode well for anyone. There is #ABetterWay with @KevinBaileyCFP @AuConservatives #BatmanVotes #Batman2018

        If these cash in hand bonuses for millionaires aren't repealed, and soon, my generation won't know what retirement is. #ageofentitlement #entitlementsfortheentitled

        The amount is likely to be tiny, the average us $1,200 but higher income earners will be well above that and lower earners way less. Get a grip.

        No. The lack of understanding in this article is astounding. A 'refund' means repaying what has been paid. If someone pays $0, and then receives a 'refund', it is a gift, not a refund. Secondly, 'double taxation' - how can it be 'double' if they pay $0?pic.twitter.com/qAxxc451sL

        If a company pays tax, and then an individual pays none, that is NOT 'double' taxation. Tax + $0 does NOT equal 'double' tax. And to call a gift a 'refund' as if they have paid tax, and then have it refunded, is sooo wrong.

        Please Janet & the Australian, I am not sure if you are utterly ignorant on this, or are attempting to deceive, but you really need to do better. The hypocrisy of The Australian attacking @albericie 's economic credentials recently & then not understanding this is mind blowing.
