Yeah, let's kick the pensioners. Kick the fuckers to the dirt.

Somehow I doubt that notion extends to his parliamentary pension.

Fair enough, my 30 second google for parliamentary pension didn't tell me that, not that I looked very hard.

He's still getting 20 30 grand a year (the Commonwealth pays 15.4% instead of the mandatory 9.something) in super on top of his parliamentary salary of 200 grand.

I had to get my Medicare linking sorted out recently. I've had my short name registered with Medicare for as long as I can remember because the full version doesn't fit on the card.

The data matching act only covers where a TFN is used for matching, though- Centrelink does a ton of matching just using personal identifiers like name and DOB. Chances are this new debt stuff isn't under that legislation.

I figured I was missing something

Technically its regulation which doesn't have to reference the Act, but doesn't mean it's not subject to it. You can't simply write different regulations and contradict an Act.

Yeah but sadly if they are explicitly not matching on TFNs then this isn't subject to that Act. Anyone know what they're actually matching on for this dragnet?

Their power's still out, give it time.
