Election should be coming soon, as expected, and that's why we have difficulty inviting ministers down for our ministerial forum.
Anyway, the progress pack is here.

BUT unfortunately, I don't qualify for it, though I am turning 21 this year.
And yes, $800 gone with the wind.
$800 means alot to a university student. I always felt that university students are the poorest lots in the entire nation (let's not talk about people with rich parents). Firstly, our school fees are the highest among all the students. Secondly, we don't work (the only thing you could do is probably tuition) and by this age we don't really get allowance from parents. Thirdly, our expenses are the highest, due to food, lodging, transportation, basic necessities and others. Basically, we have little/no income but the highest expenses.
At the end of the day, we study so hard in order to contribute to the nation in the future, and we end up getting nothing. Even students (below tertiary education) get something indirectly from it, but what do we university students get? Shouldn't we deserve at least something, even though it is small?
Anyone nice enough to share some of your growth dividend with me?
