If you never have anything to do with Centrelink consider yourself lucky, why a pile of dickheads you have to deal with.

Yes they are and it's also the pathetic red tape of issues, the government either want to know when you went to the toilet last and if you got paid for doing that...

Not allowed to get ahead in this coutry. My father was a wise man, he never received a payment from Centrelink ever, he just always accepted any sort of employment before he would every have to go to Centrelink, Department of Social security and any other psuedonym they were known under...

More people need to call in an independant enquiry....not from affilliated gov depts but by people like amnesty international for a crimes and misconduct enquiry on employees and the heads of gov departments...they simply duck shove their employees from one dept to another....and to think some of them are in the education dept.
the ammendments do nothing but empower these creeps even more and cover their own butts.....
