Many people would be aware that Australia's welfare allocation business called Centrelink can be dodgy at times, where those times would be from 8:30 am to 4:30pm, but let's take a look at how some people are defrauding us (hard working tax payers, no not taxpaying multinationals, silly) of Centrelink's allocated funds.
Some may recall that a previous government spokesperson stated that they stopped the 'boat people', which they may or may not have, where in reality the influx we see today has been transferred to 'plane people'.
These people come into the country under the false label as refugees or students, where their actions are geared towards fraud against the Australian people.
How do they do it?
They rent out a property, say a three bedroom place where three people would be officially registered at, then once they've settled in they put in extra beds where it's not uncommon to have 8 welfare recipients living in a three bedroom place.
To start off with, they receive cash upfront from the government, as well as their fortnightly benefit.
They can also be supplementing their welfare benefits with cash work, not excluding or limited to the passenger transportation or hospitality industries.
People should be aware that welfare benefits are only for the registered recipient for that person's 'survival' in this country and not as cash to be sent overseas.
Unfortunately this fraud has been happening for quite some time and the government has been aware of it, but has chosen not to do anything about it.
Don't forget when the ATO accuses you of an allegedly owed tax, they'll just take those numbers from your account.
How many Centrelink's 'robo-debt' notices were sent out to those fraudsters ?
