@9NewsMelb @ajhegarty9 So when people fight for their human rights and freedom during covid.. they get shot down like animals, but they don’t? They complain but still reef the centrelink benefits and all take the day off.

@timdunlop Yes. Violence is the right word for this. I described it as "punching down" in another tweet. It's a sort of psychic abuse.
And don't get me started on Robodebt.

@beeanchor12 @phonakins @maximumwelfare Yeah a physiotherapist did the Centrelink job capacity ***essment for a psychosocial disability claim I worked on in 2016. Luckily I was in the meeting and had a copy of the legislation. The executive is so far removed from action they have no idea how badly it's broken.

I say love pet dear, it looks like you might have forgotten to declare all your income. Lets go through it shall we?
Don't worry, if you have made a mistake we can fix it. You might have to pay some money back but we have a payment plan. We won't leave you broke.

@StMaryMacKiller Centrelink is so severely flawed, from the top down. I'm glad you had a lawyer and one paediatrician who supported you. Investigations should NEVER be a witch hunt but clearly that's exactly what happens while others are ignored. Thank you for sharing this horror story with us https://t.co/Qkxm6D39tZ

@strangerous10 The problem with getting a reasonable outcome for the #RobodebtRC is that it's hard to identify individual responsibility for #groupthink. And clearly there was a lot of that in DSS and DHS at the time. (And still is if they're still calling Centrelink clients 'customers' FFS).

If the Robodebt debacle has highlighted anything it is that Centrelink is not fit for purpose, we need a Federal Social Security department instead that provides , you know, guaranteed easy to access, social security.

@strangerous10 Have you ever tried to ring Centrelink? How about actually having someone:
1. Answer the call (not a voice response)
2. Answer the call without waiting an hour
3. Actually resolve the issue.
Going to Centrelink is no better. Hours of waiting, not much resolution.

@strangerous10 Most law students would be aware that you can't recover a debt unless you provide evidence of the debt validation. And yet Centrelink and the ATO continued down the same unlawful path. Try getting an order to recover a debt from a Magistrate without evidence.
