The lump sum would have been very welcome to those who received it and provided the urgent stimulus needed by the economy. The lump sum concept was also welcomed when first introduced by John Howard and was one of the reasons he was so popular with pensioners. Cougar we may be putting across different views as we are entitled too but its nothing personal. I respect all posters and their views unless they are over the top offensive. In the latter I would use the TOU.
