We spend more money, time, and effort on trying to get a few grand back from the poorest on Centrelink than the millions stolen by a few rich cunts.
What a just country.

They're still chasing debts from the 70s? I highly doubt anybody that worked for Centrelink in the 70s is even still there today! Now I want to know how much that debt is, because I really can't fathom even CL chasing 45 year old debts unless they're for hundreds of thousands of dollars

- Centrelink is technically fairly new and came into existence in the late 90s. Before that we had the CES which wasn't as draconian as Centrelink.
  
  Yeah, I know. I meant "what's now Centrelink"

Shut it down and move to UBI. Its basically a murderous, criminal outfit.
