Answer 1

I am an accountant/tax agent in Brisbane. I have just updated our web page and tax blog on this topic last night. You may find these links helpful:

The ATO has a good budget 2008 report also. It is easy to read with lots of examples - if you can find it. Here is the link:

Answer 2

From my reading of the Budget papers, you will only be able to claim for expenses incurred after 1st July, 2008. No provision was made for FY 2007/2008.
