Did you know that Carer's Allowance began in 1999; then it was paid at the rate of only $75.60 a fortnight, or $1965.60 a year!

In the 23 years to 2022, the Carer's Allowance has gone up to just $136.50 a fortnight to look after an aged, infirm or disabled person 24/7/365; that's a trivial average increase of $2.65, or 2.61% each year!

NO, this is not a joke!

The government and its predecessors should be ashamed!
