Fuel boost a 'kick in the guts' for those not eligible

People who aren't eligible for the governments fuel relief package such as beneficiaries or those living in rural communities and with no children have said it's "a real kick in the guts". Yesterday, the government announced that more than 140,000 working families with children will get an extra $50 a week to help counter rising fuel prices. The government says the payment will target those struggling the most, the genuinely squeezed. But for people living by themselves, without children, receiving the pension and living rurally, they feel as though they've been squeezed out. Bella Craig spoke with some of them.
