Wading or should I say sinking, into the fetid, reeking cesspool of Gov't Departments, websites, backflips, jargon, doubletalk, contradictions and absolute horseshit of Human Services, Veterans Affairs etc trying to figure out 1 simple thing... am I entitled to an age pension and, if so, how $#%@$% much...
JEEZUS $#$%%^%$ CHRIST !!!!
How hard can it be to have even an online calc for "the dude" has this much asset $ for the asset test and this much income for the income test.
But Hell No that is all too hard, every time you end up having to 'go to a Human Services Centre to lodge this or that' 'cause prior to 01 April the amount = to 38.2% of the unfunded income is deemed to earn something even if it doesn't but only if the moon wasn't up when the constitutionally protected asset was purchased less an offset of 10 gigglefarts per 100 accrued if the life expectancy divide by Pi is less than 5 times the price of the cakes used for Smoko in 1983.
Anyone been to one of those soul destroying, rancid Human Service Branch shitholes and had to deal with the apathetic nuff nuff staffing the joint, not one of which can even begin to start to sort out an issue without 3 x 15 minute phone calls and 2 consultations with another staffer even more pissed off than them?
Even after a half dozen attempts you still end up going back after the wrong advice with the wrong evidence, wrong forms and WRONG %$#^^%$ ATTITUDE so you get asked to leave by Security who is the only dipstick in the joint who actually knows his job!!!!!!!
Next election I'm voting for a $#@$% Military Coup
