Wow that sucks heaps Babibakez! Centrelink seem so incompetent, but at the same time, I'd love to work for them, because the 'customers' have no bargaining power with which to complain. What're the 'customers' going to do? Stop doing business with them? Go elsewhere? You wouldn't even have to feign concern!
I just recieved the $650 into my account today, only two weeks after applying (despite the fact I'm sure I have a three week waiting period, and earn a little too much every week to get any YA at all).
At first when I saw the total in my bank account I thought that my backpay was ludicrously huge, hahaha.
