Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
I was studying as a mature age student & was on Austudy. I picked up some part time work. I actually reported every cent i made & was still being paid the full amount of Austidy. I rang centrelink & told them there had to be a mistake & they said it was ok & that I had working credits. Years later a debt.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
The government & especially their lazy, entitled employees are a complete joke
