Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:

Sick feeling of hopelessness that government agencies couldnt have attended to this at the EOFY in question. When tax returns were registered and calculations made with refunds provided. No cross referencing.

I was contract teacher with many different schools for varying hours per fortnight employment.
This cannot be accurate and i have no record of income provided to centrelink as was done via app.

CL did not provide any evidencr on which to base their claims.

How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:

Absolutely without care or consideration we do not all fit the black & white description of CL.
Eg a teacher gets paid gor 5hrs per day or 50hr per fortnight apparently CL does not see this as Fulltime work and during this time in Q i was asked to find additional employment.

I am single parent to 4 children this was disgraceful burden to place on an already vunerable situation.

I needed financial assistance for 3 years after my 13 year career in QPS then attained qualifications to re-enter workforce in 2nd professional career now spanning 7yrs.
Total disgrace that I am targeted.
