They then wanted a copy of my super balance, a copy of my separation papers (recently made redundant) and the value of my FG XR6. Now all this even though she will receive zero in benefits. I just started a casual job 3 weeks from being unemployed for 3 months and have never been on the dole in my life. Looking back now maybe it would have been better off on the dole! But hey I’m an Aussie and ask for no handouts. This is what you get for being honest, am I entitled to be a little annoyed...
The $25p/w you are referring to is that from Single Parenting Payment or Family Tax Benefit ?

P.S. I am one of the robots Ford_The_Win feels sorry for
