But in fairness to this judge, he also:
[Judge Michael McInerney] said their fraudulent actions exposed fatal flaws and clear gaps in the Commonwealth childcare system.
The court heard the family's fraudulent scheme targeted the Commonwealth's Grandparent Child Care Benefit, which could pay $1,750 a week per child.
Key points:
- Rosa Riak and her son Kuol Deng have been jailed for four years after scamming the Commonwealth of almost $1 million
- The family's company employed dozens of people who pretended to care for children in their homes so they could claim a government benefit
- They can apply for parole after two years
So; he has sent out an alert to the supervisory authorities to tighten that supervision.
Wow; $1,750 A WEEK for GarndParent to 'look after ' their rascal-blood-lines!??!!!!??
When less than a century ago that would be widely considered to be a 'Labour of Love'.
When & Who told us to be that generous?
While honest Pensioners laboured their whole lives to earn the right to receive less then $500 a week.
Cheers,
