High income families to lose baby bonus, family tax benefit

The baby bonus and Family Tax Benefit Part B will no longer be paid to high income families as part of the Federal Government's attempt to better target the welfare system to families who need help the most.
From January 1 next year, a means test will apply to families with a combined income of $150,000 a year or more.
If the primary earner earns $150,000 then the family will lose Family Tax Benefit Part B, a change expected to affect about 40,000 families.
About 16,000 families are expected to no longer receive the $5000 baby bonus after a new means test is introduced.
On January 1 the means test will be based on the family's income in the six months following birth on a pro rata annual basis equivalent to $75,000 over that six-month period.
The Minister for Family and Community Services, Jenny Macklin, said the changes would make the family payments system "simpler and fairer".
What’s Middle Australia?
As we draw near to budget time, there has been plenty of talk about what “middle Australia” will get. But where exactly is the middle? To provide a more precise sense, I’ve tabulated the pre-tax annual income distributions for individuals and households, in the 2008-09 tax year. My raw data is the 2006 HILDA survey, which was roughly coincident with the 2006-07 tax year. Those numbers are then inflated by 8%, which is roughly what the budget papers suggest nominal wage growth has been over the past two years.
Households
1% $10,389
5% $18,036
10% $25,920
25% $46,252
50% $80,826
75% $122,040
90% $172,152
95% $217,555
99% $388,368
Mean: $95,542
Individuals
1% $0
5% $0
10% $0
25% $1,620
50% $19,440
75% $48,600
90% $75,686
95% $97,416
99% $175,532
Mean: $32,337
In other words, half the households in Australia have a pre-tax income of less than $80,826, while 35% of households and 5% of individuals have pre-tax incomes over $100,000.

这个是我说的，大概有110个左右均价超过100万，这个是悉尼先锋晨报今年年初的房产报告的数据。前几个月每周六的daily telegraph都会介绍一个均价超百万的suburb,也称超过100个。不过现在房价有降，实际那就不知道了
