The Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, will ask the Minister for Human Services the following in Question Time today …
“Minister, Centrelink is one of the most prevalent complaints to my office.
“People tell me it’s an impenetrable system where they call and can’t get through, or go to the office only to be told to call, or they try myGov which crashes or isn’t helpful.
“People often wait months for their application to be processed, documents go missing or the application stalls and they’re not told.
“Minister we’re talking about the disabled, sick, unemployed and homeless; as well as the aged, carers, families and students. Vulnerable people.
“Clearly Centrelink is at breaking point despite the best efforts of staff. When will you say enough is enough and fix it?”
WHEN: Approximately 2:15pm TODAY 11 September
WHERE: House of Representatives (watch live at http://www.aph.gov.au/News_and_Events/Watch_Parliament)
