    So you'd much rather rant to a community that cannot do anything to remedy the fraud? Why bother then?

    If I was a Centrelink "customer", with a cash only business, and I owned a few lifestyle assets, I'd probably start thinking about my risk factor increase if I clicked something like this:-

    ATO to use insurance for data matching

    I really do not believe many of them are deep thinkers, nor care enough.

    I have seen druggies on centrelink for years, they are in the too hard basket.

    Do your head in thinking/worrying about all the welfare/gov (all) fraud/waste etc that goes on, nothing you/we can do about it even if we were in parliament.
    Just do "your best" at being a good and honest citizen, pay your taxes to support the rest.

    I pay almost full rate child support even tho my ex earns more than me in cashies.
    Supposedly single mums living in housing commission on single parents for years who have the same bloke regularly there, when he's not fifo. can't just storm in a bust them, have to give them notice so they can prepare.

    Heard a woman ring up on the radio the other day who's been in housing commission for the past 17+yrs, had the shiets complaining because some tradie didn't turn up at the time he said he would o_O

    I just caught this random post and thought of your comments... I'm certain there will be many other loopholes in the system for the fraudsters!

    Jenny Macklin MP

    BREAKING: The Turnbull Government just voted to limit overseas travel for pensioners, abolish the pensioner education supplement and the education entry payment.

    All measures from the disastrous 2014 and 2015 budgets.

    When it comes to fairness Malcolm Turnbull says one thing and does another.

    Or one letter added/missing. Double consonants etc. Using a computer search for this kind of thing is extremely difficult, if not impossible.

    It's odd, governments apparently like pensioners retiring overseas, because they're less of a burden on the health system here.
