    40. Announced a $800 bonus for aged care workers, but then processed the applications slowly, paying only 3% of aged care workers after 2 months. The government asked aged care providers to pay the bonus out of their own pocket in the interim. This means the government is taking a loan from those providers, which increases government debt in reality, but not on paper.
