cafa, That is one of the better ideas I have heard in regards to the charge being out over the house. I think it could work except for the sooking children.
Maybe we could include the primary residence in the asset test. e.g. If you would receive $22k per year if the primary residence wasn't included, but, say, $11k if it was, then you get paid the $22k but the estate would then pay back the "excess" revenue that is paid. if you received the age pension for 20 years then the estate would pay back 20 x 11k.
In regards to income being included in the CSHC, I was under the impression that it was only income from untaxed sources.
