Centrelink sucks! You ever been on it?

I was and still am on Centrelink at the moment. Its what passes for Welfare down here in Oz. I started a new job 8 weeks ago and tried to leave welfare but they wouldn't let because the job was part time. Its the best I could get at the moment. Well each fortnight I have to lodge a claim on what I have been paid from my job and the Centrelink checks are getting less and less. Problem is. I haven't actually been paid at all!
No Centrelink has just given me $20 to live on for the next fortnight.
I hope all my paychecks come soon or that I haven't lost all that cash for nothing.

They'll still make you apply for 20 jobs per month then a year later their automatic system has a habit of emailing you that you were over paid and owe them money. Anyone who can survive Centerlink's system deserves the money.
