Centrepay is an online tool designed to help people on Centrelink pay for essentials like rent or bills through automatic deductions. But financial counsellors say the government service is instead being misused by some providers to exploit vulnerable Australians.
It’s amazing how many hexbears can’t have a simple discussion without getting personal.
I agree this BS needs to stop. I disagree on HOW it should be stopped. The market (and people out to make a quick buck) will always move faster than the govt can respond. Especially when the victims involved here have shown absolute zero financial literacy. Rather than treating the symptoms, I believe there should be more focus on education.
Not really much of a discussion to be had. You just keep alleging facts without evidence. I don’t think many people consider “Uh huh!” and “Nuh uh!” to be a form of discussion.
Wasn’t referring to you here, you’ll notice we had a reasonable conversation, even if we disagreed. You were the lone exception though.
