And the AUWU are surveying people to see how their C'link experience is.
#CentreStink Reporting Line
Wait times for basic services are ballooning, and the phones go unanswered. We want to know what your experience is been like, so we set up the #CentreStink Reporting Line so you can let us know just how stinky Centrelink is getting.
This survey is designed to capture information about current issues you are experiencing, not previous issues. The reason for this is that we are trying to build a snapshot of what is currently going on at Centrelink. If you'd like to tell us about a previous issue, you are welcome to detail these experiences in the survey question which asks for any additional detail you'd like to add.
The CPSU is campaigning for a revival, in 21st C form, of the Commonwealth Employment Service we used to have.
As part of our ongoing Proud to be Public campaign to Bring Back the CES we've been actively pushing for change with the government and building support in the community.
