Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
I know that the debt amount is incorrect and have asked for a review. I had to find my payslips from four years ago to prove that my income was earned when I wasn't receiving Centrelink payments. However in the meantime I have been forced onto a payment plan to start repaying the debt while it is being reassessed, otherwise my debt will be given to a collection agency. I'm not earning any money during the holidays and it's created a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety!
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
The way the government has handled this has been a total debacle. They need to suspend this process immediately and Christian Porter should resign.
