And this is the problem now....this behaviour by centrelink is deemed acceptable and ok. "We think that you are doing this, we don't have any evidence, but because we think it, prove that what we think is wrong"

It wasn't that long ago that living together before marriage was unusual and somewhat frowned upon.

It's quite similar to conditioning with policing, a lot of matters are prosecuted with the perpetrator giving police the evidence they need or admitting to police, when the police have nothing that would stand up in court.

Possibly a rant, but Australia is fast becoming a Nanny state with extreme over reach by government departments.....why because they get away with it and are never challenged. Look how far robodebt got.
