There are some problems with "Prebate":-
It does not seem to take account for extended families (grand parents,
dependant adults, etc,).
It does not take into account actual costs of the family (we all know that
being disabled involves extra spending which a non-disabled family do not
have to bear).
Does not take into account debt burden on a family when calculating prebate.
If I lived with my sister (me zero income, sister $60000 pa) the "household"
would receive a prebate based on my sister's income despite her not giving me
a cent, so I would be significantly below the poverty line.
