A phone survey also concluded that 20% of the handouts were used to pay down credit or simply saved. I have no doubt then you must feel as distressed about this 20% waste as I do the waste on pokies.
I'd dare say between both our respective views (not including other waste) that near 30% of the handouts did not go where the money would have been most effective.
