An elderly relative told me: "It's a good thing I'm a hoarder. Centrelink sent me a letter saying I'm not eligible for the aged pension. I found a letter from two years ago showing their reason was wrong.
"When I got to the office, I spoke with an arrogant man in his 50s who insisted that I wasn't eligible. I said I was. He said I was wrong. Then I showed him the letter..."
The system is working as intended.
It was never about stopping supposed dole bludgers.
Frankly, if you wanted to rort money from the federal government, you'd be a fool to do it through Centrelink. Just any high net worth tax advisor — or Gerry Harvey.
It's about preventing people from getting the support they need, and are legally entitled to.
