Go and start a thread of your own, on this one we're interested in something that is evolving not something that happened in the recent past.
You really do have a sick fascination with guns and murder.

South Sudanese refugees' childcare scam could fuel African community's 'vilification': judge

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-29/childcare-scam-melbourne-court/10176954

Two refugees from South Sudan who rorted almost $1 million from the Commonwealth in a childcare scam have been jailed, with a judge saying the publicity would add to the "trauma" of a community already subject to "unjustified vilification".

Rosa Riak, who became an Australian citizen in 2006, pleaded guilty to one count of dishonestly causing a loss to the Department of Education and Training.

She was charged as part of an investigation into close to $16 million in false payments to day care providers in Melbourne's west.

The County Court jailed Riak and her son Kuol Deng for four years, while her daughter Achai Deng left court with a good behaviour bond.

Judge Michael McInerney said their fraudulent actions exposed fatal flaws and clear gaps in the Commonwealth childcare system.

MY comment
I remember years ago there was a problem with foreign people with kids giving them to friends to mind while the friend would give there's back and then claim money all they were doing was swapping kids for childcare minding and getting millions of dollars.

Con't

The next part of the story shows it was absurd,

"The court heard the family's fraudulent scheme targeted the Commonwealth's Grandparent Child Care Benefit, which could pay $1,750 a week per child.

At least $955,438 was paid out in fake claims and the family's company received up to $159,300.

But Judge McInerney stressed that those figures were only the minimum amounts that could be proven.

Deng, who owned a $165,000 Range Rover, was undone by surveillance which showed him asking his mother where he should put $80,000 in cash."

For the Government to give $1,750 per week per child is crazy, very few people would be paying that amount in tax per week so it was a money looser from the start that is just over $84,000 per year.

Hi Belly,

I have no truck with those who would break the law, this woman has been an Australian citizen for 12 years. Whenever a person acting unlawfully is identified with a minority, like this woman, those of the rabid right take the opportunity to stigmatize the whole of that community by association. They do it with Aboriginals, they do it with Muslims, they do it with all the minorities they hate. Some even did it with Ivan Milat, an Australian born son of Croatian emigrants.

An inescapable fact, not every native born Australian is law abiding. Not every migrant or visitor to this country is law abiding. In fact no group in society can claim that all of theirs, are all law abiding

Probably the only surprise is that the Human Rights Commission did not charge those bringing this theft to light. I mean surely they were racist.
