Centrelink recipients with plans to go to Bali: Klara+ Julia
Many people checked into flights going to Denpasar airports that were cancelled. They had already gone through the check-in process, but were told to leave the airport and go home and rebook. No one was checked back in to Australia. According to Centrelink, you can not be outside of Australia for more than 6 weeks if you want to receive payments/benefits. Therefore after 6 weeks all Centrelink payments were cut to this group of people. Klara was sad and embarrassed (and poor). -
