	Australia has already given out one payment of $750 to those on welfare or other benefits. Although no longer eligible for the Australian aged pension we do have a seniors health care card each so we both received the payment. Apparently we are due for another similar payment in about two weeks.

	Meanwhile, in Britain, we're still pondering........ Pondering how it will increase the income of those who need no help. Bearing in mind, they suddenly realised Universal Credit wasn't actually an amount people could survive on, let alone live on, so, on the onset of a pandemic, they increased it by £10 a week!

	Same with the dole in Oz, Maggie, and once the Oz crisis is over the dole may be reduced to its former amount which was marginally just above the poverty line
