Below, is a letter sent to me following my questioning the Minister as to how Centrelink have claimed that they are not responsible for the 4 years of error. Let me make it quite clear right here, that the second page of this letter DOES contain the signature of Mr. Hockey, NOT one of his underlings. The reason for emphasising this will become clear in another page. As you can see, Mr.Hockey makes SEVERAL errors in his reply, amongst which is the statement that " Mr. Cleveland's compensation claim does NOT relate to his Disability Support Pension......."........ Considering that over $ 3,000.oo of the witholdings were from that pension, I fail to see his logic. Is this just ANOTHER case where Centrelink have supplied the details to Mr. Hockey in an attempt to cover up, or does Mr. Hockey really think that I'm stupid enough to not know what happened to me ?? He further states that the debt was re-instated due to "Administrative Error"...and that I was " incorrectly advised by Centrelink"... and yet, in spite of those admissions, goes further to say that "..it was determined that the repayments Mr. Cleveland made were legally proper" So, what Mr. Hockey is saying, in essence, is that Centrelink can screw you, AND make you love the baby !!
