Rebecca Cross of Wallabi Point today directed hard hitting questions to the office of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

She wants answers and hopes her experience of the Department of Human Services automated data matching system and its generation of a $1700 Centrelink debt will prompt the Prime Minister to review its system and processes.

Rebecca is choosing to be proactive and asks “how many people are you going to wrongly accuse before you understand that your system is not working and hurting innocent people in the process?”

Rebecca is community minded in her choice to advocate the issue and her willingness to step forward to help others was awarded in October 2016 with the title of ‘Australia’s Backyard Legend’ as part of the inaugural Backyard Legend Day.

This is Rebecca’s letter to Mr Turnbull and today it was emailed to his office after being posted to his Facebook page.
