Your friend probably hasn't thought about this enough to realise how wrong and unfair it is. She probably just had the idea spontaneously, when filling in the forms.

As soon as she applies for a loan, with her partner or without, Centrelink will start checking up. And I am sure one day she will want to get a loan.
