I know...it sounds like a media beat up....but wait...theres more.... http://www.news.com.au/business/money/story/0,25479,24504122-5013951,00.html
but look at these stats...for nsw only july 2000 to sep 2008 over 361415 people took up the grants worth over 2.6 billion.... here is the link...remember this is not austrlia wide just nsw http://www.osr.nsw.gov.au/lib/doc/other/top20.pdf
take a guess what the stats are australia wide...all states... if anyone has the time or links for the other states it would be appreciated
