G'day you leeches from Centrelink,
Just a quick note to let you know that you have 2 chances of getting 26 grand from me. (Buckleys and F... all).
Your incompetence never ceases to amaze me!
The letter is dated October 2016 with a due date of November 2016 and I only just received it now??
You know damn well that Australia Post is another completely useless government entity and you still insist in sending mail via them. Will you ever learn?
Anyway, if I had received it on time there may have been some chance of settling this matter, however my circumstances have changed now and payment is no longer possible.
You see, I decided that I could no longer trust the official Australian currency anymore, so I have converted all my dollars into a cryptocurrency called Steem.
I have contacted your office to make payment and was advised that you do not have facilities to accept Steem as payment.
So, I have attempted to make payment and you have refused it.
Given you are operating in the past using fiat money, I can only suggest you write the debt off.
By the time you catch up to the rest of the world, the Statute of Limitations will kick in anyway and it will be too late to come after me again!
All the best,
Mrs Claire Etheridge.

Thanks for entering.
Dear sir or madame,
I do not intend to pay the supposed debt notice I received from @centerlink, as I would rather fake my death or move to Ukraine. Do not try to contact me again as I will be writing rants about you on steemit.com. If you try to enter my property, expect to be gunned down.
Love,
@arkadiy
Thanks and good luck!
To whom it may concern,
Thank you for your promt service and response as I am not use to it as when I usualy want some sort of response from Centerlink it generally takes days if not months. And the days that I have to visit the Centerlink office to prove that I am looking for work I can generally wait most of the day for any service at all after taking my special number and waiting for it to be called out by lady that sound like she doesn't want to be there either and then to get served and told, "sorry you will have to take another number as I don't look after that sort of enquiry", to which I say," Fuc*'n Great I'll take another number, have a nice day as sit back down on your back breaking couch!
As you have now reduced your Centerlink staff members and joined them with Medicare there are even less people who actually know what they are doing. I think the security guard at the front door is the only person in there that actually knows their job.
This is why I bring to your attention that you say I owe Centerlink the amount of $26,274.91. This is in fact my Medicare rebate that is outstanding that Medicare actually owe me for the operation I recently had where a metal plate has been infused in my lower spine from sitting on your shitty seats for so long trying to prove I'm looking for work and repeatedly coming in to rewrite my resume over and over again. To reiterate once again the $26,274.91 is a rebate owed to me from Medicare and actually has nothing to do with you Centerlink! This is what happens when you use one computer system for two different services because the government wants to save money.
By the way I would like to apply for the job as a Centerlink help desk clerk as advertised on seek.
Thank you and give me my money!
Thanks for your response. Good luck.
Thanks for the response. Good luck!
Thanks mate!

You're not an Aussie until you've had a centrelink debt.
I love all you guys for coming up with this haha.
Cheers and thanks for supporting.
Thanks for entering. Good luck.
I thought I had hit the lottery just getting the @Centrelink dole payments, but to win the logo comp is truly incredible. Thanks @sirknight! And @ausbitbank!! Please forward royalty payment of $26,274.91 as soon as possible to cover my new (unforseen) @Centrelink expenses😜
Dear Sir or Madam
Thank you for your letter, a copy of which I attach for your convenience. In said letter you - Centerlink - assert I have a debt of over $26,000.
Ha!
Well good luck getting any of that back!
I am a wombat. Yes, I may have appeared in a favourite Aussie TV show from years gone, when my fur was softer and my arse less worn although there aren't any pictures left (if you paid more attention you may have seen me - even though between them, Sonny and Skip were pretty good at hogging the camera). But did I get any recompense?
Carrots. I got carrots.
The pittance received from you has been used up sprucing up the burrow.
You're welcome to try and find it.
I might just add that I ran into Skip the other day. He doesn't need any Centrelink payments. No. Royalties all the way for him.
So don't start on me. Wombats are superior in every way, and I'll bite yer arse if you say otherwise.
Thanks for entering! Good luck.
Ha - cheers. Good fun anyway!
Hi scooter77, just calling in to say thanks for all the motivation.
Thanks for checking in.
$26k?🤤
OMG!🙈
Upgoats for the upgoats! This post is awesome and the new logo is...well, I'm speechless (which doesn't happen often). Will put on my thinking cap and get ready to do some serial leaning. ;-)
