What really ****es me off about centerlink is how they decide their benefits! Rent is so pricey that a hundred or so a fortnight doesn't stretch that far. What gets up my goat even more is if you have a mortage to repy they don't give a toss! You get zip towards it! I hope you get some decent rent ass especially since you are a single mum!
I think the gov sees people with a mortgage as not needing assistance. A bank will only approve you for the amount of money you can pay back.

What gets on my goat more (because I just think it's so damn stupid yet hilarious at the same time) is we get $1 a fortnight from centrelink, which is fine we don't need it and a payment is better for someone that does, but what dumbarse thinks $1 a fortnight is actually helpful?

Renting is so hard. I was only looking on the paper the other day and a two bedroom unit was going for 300 and something. Ridiculous.
