Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

The determination declares the Murray-Darling Basin Small Block Irrigators Exit Grant an exempt lump-sum under the Social Security Act, so Centrelink ignores the payment when assessing pensions or allowances.

It affects small-scale Basin irrigators who receive the exit grant and also get welfare (Age Pension, DSP, JobSeeker), ensuring the grant won’t reduce or cancel their social security and helps them afford leaving irrigation.
