Remember how Centrelink was so deliberately bad in those terrible old Liberal days?

Now it is Labor's days & things are worse. [Gosh no-one knew that would happen did they?]

@aby I'm on #DSP, so i get a little bit more, but it's not enough. Especially when there's so much inflation happening. JSK and the rest of the #centrestink payments URGENTLY need updating.

They need to make ALL welfare payments more accessible. At the moment, it's nigh on impossible to get DSP, JSK takes many weeks to be accepted etc.
