WangChung, post: In the context of an overseas holiday (like the cruise you mentioned), should you even be qualifying for an energy supplement if you can afford that long overseas?
It wouldn't surprise me if some of the 4 'likes' are grey nomads. Would you class grey nomads as wealthy?
I would!
If they can afford to leave their place of residence for longer then 6 weeks, to travel around Aust. shouldn't they also lose their energy supplement? Maybe Centrelink should introduce a new tracking method of their movements.
In my example, the cruisers' travelling around Australia for 10 days, have technically left Ausralia and their place residences on day-one.
My reason of starting this thread, is to draw attention to some technical oddity with the system. Just trying to highlight, certain groups are being penalised whilst still spending money at an Aust port or city.
