Comments:
THE Rudd Government has wasted $40 million by paying the $900 tax bonus to 16,000 dead people and 27,000 expats living overseas.
The revelations will rock the Government's efforts to sell its $42 billion stimulus package as a nation-building scheme.
And the Australian Tax Office said the level of payments to the dead is likely to go beyond the $14 million so far issued to deceased estates, The Daily Telegraph reports.
The $40 million in wasted payments was revealed by the tax office in confidential documents that confirmed prisoners received the $900 payment.
As well, more than $11 million was spent on "marketing" the cash splash - which has seen about $8 billion paid to 8.7 million people.
Despite racking up more than $300 billion in debt, the Government is sending about $25 million in bonus payments to people living overseas.
