my 2c. I would dob if i thought someone was defrauding centrelink.
to have kids is a financial sacrifice in any situation. Benefits are more than enough to live off. Benefits are there so you can pay rent, energy/water bills, live & eat sensibly. Not so you can afford to take a holiday, buy a house, have health insurance, a flashy car, buy booze & ciggerettes.. if benefits were extravagant no one would work. (i am on benefits btw, im not taking the pi$$ out of something i haven't had any experience with)
whats the clink quote they used a few years back "support the system, that supports you?" something like that... We have a generous welfare system (altho not perfect) that we should be grateful for. Those who cheat the system deserve what comes to them yes, but it would be better if they got served a small payback than a huge fine + bill (whatever) + prison later down the track (and the kids go where?). It would be insensitive to let them get away with it than to dob them in, regardless of how it affects you financially. (my opinon end )
