That's a bloody good question. Most of those coming from India seem to be in IT and frankly they would probably be better off staying exactly where they are.

Not very civil, stealing money from a country though, is it?
To clear my stand I have already written to Centrelink regarding my position and it is upto them to decide what action they have to take. I want to convey all people that probably you should know that Civil Engineers are amongst best paid people anywhere in the world & 100$ can never lure anyone....:p However people are people, really funny...............:p:sneaky: |

People have opinions like this when they hear someone talking about being in another country still receiving benefits because you're taking money wrongly, regardless of your wonderful financial position and your amusement at people's reactions. It's wrong and you should have advised C'link of your departure date before you even left the country. I'm not surprised you didn't fit in here. |

Try getting a professional Civil Engineer job with a centrelink fraud on your record.

Now you are back tracking - support your own family, why the hell should we? |

I think you will find that on the first page of this thread, one of the first answers the OP got was from me telling him to contact Centrelink to cancel the payments as he was not entitled. |
Re: Future Uncertain - My experience
I think he's now in wind up mode so I think we should all just leave him alone, it's really not worth blowing a gasket over. He's one of millions - none of whom I know enough about to dob them in. They'll get theirs eventually. Move on.

Re: Future Uncertain - My experience
Posts like these make me really want to get back to working in Compliance! Am sure I'd save Centrelink and the taxpayers a lot of money:D
Doesn't Centrelink have some kind of link to Immigration's database to find out whether someone is still resident or not? |
