I’m done.
Received a stack of legal documents today which has triggered a major depressive episode.
You see, the Australian government welfare system will subsidise your income if you are studying or only working part time, are ill, or a caregiver to a dependent.
The system say I was overpaid and owe them $6000
I dispute their claim, and two appeals have failed. So now I think I’m on the last leg, a legal appeal to a magistrate, which is terribly complex and makes me pity the illiterate 1/3 of Australians on welfare who may need to appeal a debt.
So now I’m three weeks behind study.
Last week I was in hospital.
No one can work that out either. Probably lupus.
I’m drinking tonight.
Fuck everything.
It doesn’t matter how hard you try. If you’re a single parent in Australia you’re fucked. Don’t even dream of owning a house or having a job or doing anything to get yourself off of welfare, they punish you for it.
And the cycle of poverty continues.
Fuck it all
