Gina's Bill Relief
Matt Golding
The May federal Budget contained energy bill relief for all Australian households, with more than 10 million taxpayers receiving a total rebate of $300. For many Australian households, the rebate might make a discernible difference to their day-to-day lives. Pocket cartoonist Matt Golding needs only a single frame to suggest that, for the average billionaire, the rebate is less noticeable.
