Ugh C-link is taking a millenia to process my partner's switch from AusStudy to Jobseeker, so they're giving me his rent assistance portion which means he prolly won't get a payment tomorrow.

Yes Centrelink, $151 rent assistance is enough for my $1868 rent 🙄🙄🙄

Fuck fuck fucking fuck fuck

This is why I've never bothered faffing around with Centerlink whenever I've been between jobs. The amount you get from them wouldn't even cover rent. Just gotta get a new job ASAP.
