family income estimate:

If your child’s over 16 and can’t study
When your child turns 16, you may continue to get FTB for them. However, they
need to be in full time secondary study or
exempt from the study requirements.
Your child may still meet these study requirements even if:

they’re sick or isolated
their school closes
you choose to keep them away as a precautionary measure.

If they intend to return to study, you’ll continue to qualify for FTB. There’s
nothing you need to do.

the first Economic Support

this into your bank account automatically.

Coronavirus Supplement.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer does not actually relate to whether your tax benefit will change.
This answer is bad because it fails to mention how family tax benefits will change, and if benefits could be reduced or lost. Therefore, it does not answer the question.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Retirees
section_headers: Deeming rates
section_content: The Government is also reducing both the upper and lower social security
deeming rates by a further 0.25 percentage points in addition to the 0.5
percentage point reduction to both rates announced on 12 March 2020.
The change reflects the low interest rate environment, reducing the income
deemed to have been earned from interest on investments and savings allowing
for an increase in social security payments .


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer is about social security payments rather than the tax benefit changes in the inquiry.
This answer is bad because there is zero mention about family tax benefits, which is what the question is asking for. This answer only talks about social security payments.
