The Australian Government has announced several changes to laws and regulations at the start of the new year 2024.
These changes are set to affect millions of Australians, and new laws and regulations include enhanced social welfare, in addition to strict laws on vaping.
Activate a strict electronic smoking system
At the beginning of the new year, the Australian government will activate the system for electronic smoking in the country, and the government attaches great importance to this matter.
The new decision is also scheduled to include a ban on the import of electronic cigarettes, which are used once, and these cigarettes contain nicotine.
Boosting social welfare payments
The new amendment will also include enhanced payments for Australian citizens receiving social welfare payments.
They include youth allowance and care allowance, and their payments are scheduled to be enhanced by 6% in line with inflation.
Road toll discounts in NSW
It is important to note that the New South Wales government in Minnis has implemented a limit of sixty dollars for road tolls in the state. Private drivers are eligible to ask for a discount of up to three hundred forty dollars each week.
Each and every child in Queensland who is four and a half years old or older is now eligible to receive free kindergarten.
The work bonus ceiling has been permanently increased from $7,800 to $11,800, which means that retirees who still want to work will be allowed to keep more of their pension. This change will take effect across the country.
