Working families to receive a $50 boost for fuel
from Checkpoint
More than 140,000 working families with children will get an extra $50 a week as part of the plan to counter rising fuel prices. Another 14,000 families will qualify for a part payment. The top up is being delivered through a boost to the in-work tax credit that will kick in from April. It is a temporary increase and will last a year, or until the price of 91 octane petrol drops below $3 a litre for four consecutive weeks. The Salvation Army's Bonnie Robinson spoke to Lisa Owen.
