A 41-year-old woman is awaiting sentence in NSW after fraudulently receiving more than $200,000 in Centrelink payments after her baby girl died.

She also called Centrelink within two months of her child's death seeking advance payments doing so more than a dozen times and approximately every six months.

He said a Centrelink investigator also established she could have received more than $189,000 in Disability Support Pension entitlements. He said his client has previously told medical practitioners the baby's death was"a particularly difficult, stressful event" and has since engaged in behaviour including dressing up a doll and pretending it was her daughter.

John Howard lives on an ex pm pension and free perks and he's basically a war criminal sending our soldiers to fight in a war based on lies. Not to mention the obscene money spent destroying an innocent Nation.

Will the government shoot her,

What the..?

The govt needs that money to pay Chris Pynes superannuation

$200.000 in fifteen years? So what kind of allowance was that at only $13.333 recurring per year?

So.... a mother who is clearly suffering from mental health and addiction issues has done the wrong thing. I suggest we give her the same punishment we give politicians who are found to have ripped the tax payers off, ie: a slap on the wrist.

This should be pointed out a rarity, how many of our percentage of politicians have been caught rorting the system, but get to pay it back after being caught and NO consequences.
