I suspect the only variable with benefits here is age, but I'm not 100% sure about that (I think there's a youth allowance that may be different).
It's not based on what you were earning when employed.
It's all below what's considered the poverty line here anyway.
Even pensioners kick up a stink at times (and they get more)...but they get substantial discounts with a lot of things.
And all they do is drive their car to the supermarket once a week, and possibly go to the pokies![]()
