cenre link single parent rates., page-5

if that child is 8 years old, the income drops by 130 pf from parenting payment of 663 pf to 533

with 3 children it changes to 1314
take out rent 600 = 714 for food, clothing, energy for 4 people

yeah sure, these women are really on a good wicket, whoopee
with about 350 pw for everything they need
obviously there are no mobile phones, games station and tv in every room, and new clothes, school etc
