Australian Conservatives', Cory Bernadi, has received information from an ex-Centrelink employee about just one very costly (to Australia) migrant family.

A migrant women contacted Centrelink to complain about a reduction in her Family Tax Benefits (FTB). It transpired that the woman was on a Parenting Payment of $495 a fortnight, her husband was on an Austudy allowance for a similar amount, and the couple’s TEN CHILDREN entitled them to a further $2850 per fortnight through FTB ‘A’ and FTB ‘B’. This IS almost $2,000 per week, not counting any childcare benefits, housing assistance and medical benefits!

How many other families like this are we paying for? It is on the public record that 95% or certain immigrants are still on welfare 5 years after there arrival here.

Australia is a crazy country

Look up in the sky, it is the racist card coming down.

meanwhile pensioners are getting squeezed more and more. That's socialism for you.

Dear ttbn,

How about you providing us with a link to all of this?

Where did you get this information from. We'd all like
to see it as well.

Thanks

Dear Foxy,

I had a quick look and here is the link for you.

Not sure if it is fair dinkum or not. Doubtful Jim Cross is his actual name so we might as well say an un-named source.

What is interesting is the language, especially the use of the word “patriot”. Cory has always been such an easily led fellow and his dose of Trump while he was in the States really seems to have left its mark.

Just what this country needs, another bloody Trump wannabe.

Dear Steele,

Thanks for the link.

I wasn't able to find it.

It reminds me of Neil Mitchell speaking on Q&A,
February 8, 2016 about the cost of refugees and
welfare payments to Australia. He attributed his
numbers to "unnamed sources."

It's not possible of course for anyone to verify
the accuracy of numbers provided by "unnamed sources."
And it is important that we get the facts right.

Of course I imagine that none of this is important
to either Mr Bernardi or some other politicians.
Getting voter support is what they're
after. Still with the mess our current
government is currently in - they just might do better than
any of us ever dreamt they possibly could.
