    Pensioners have been hit by . We recently learnt about Mark, a pensioner on the Disability Support Pension who paid a $10,000 debt without challenging. He was afraid of losing the DSP, were intimidating.

    I work for a community organisation and the overwhelming fear many people have at the thought of receiving a they dont owe is literally making them ill...this is nothing short of financial and emotional abuse...if pensioners are added to this, its elder abuse!

    Too many people are getting wrongly denied DSP, the system is cruel & people are being left in terrible circumstances.

    We can relate, Paul. Learnt about Mark this week. He's on disability support pension, paid a $10,000 . Too risky to challenge, as what might do to him? What life improving things that money could have done for Mark? Opportunity stolen.

    How good is being a pack of utter bastards

    That the government can just steal people's money like this without any sort of independent judgement is obviously completely outrageous! ------ seizes tax returns of Aussies appealing robo-debts

    Has seized your tax return for a dodgy ? Like Miranda Debeljakovic, chances are they're taking money you don't owe. Challenged robodebts are reduced on average by 75%. 1 in 5 are false. Challenge your debt today:

    Imagine what $4.4bn could do in the pockets of beneficiaries? Or provided free childcare to struggling parents? Or paid for decent food and care for the aged? Or shifted water to dry towns? Or provided social housing? Or free dental?

    Tens of thousands of auto industry jobs were not deemed worthy of a fraction of these subsidies by the Coalition...

    The Tasmanian Liberals pursue a privatisation and outsourcing agenda. Because it’s all worked out so beautifully everywhere else it’s occurred.

    That’s a bit unfair. Most employees are probably just holding on to make ends meet. It’s not a high paying role. Take your outrage to the policy writers and the politicians, not the frontline staff.

    My son has been for $600. He had 1 part time job and has actually reported less income than his employment statement states. He can't contact anyone at who can see the debt, let alone find where they think he cheated. What a disgusting system

    Here's one of the best ways we know to jam : If you have a dodgy debt, even if it's been paid, challenge it. Debts challenged go down on average by 75%. 1 in 5 are false. Tie them up in admin, and let them know it's not going to work.
