The ATO cross reference should have only been used at the end of the financial year , when both Centrelink earning inputs can be logically fairly compared with ATO lodged gross earnings
Simple but they obviously could not wait - like yeah , someone will money grab and flee overseas !
But anyhow they must have sorted out the data mining because last year when I had conventional casual work they were cross referencing my declared fortnightly income with obviously data from the employer directly
However i do remember years ago you had to calculate earnings in advance or partially in advance - a crazy fantasy for some casual work that is piecemeal - always a difference in reporting - and knowing that any chronic clerical incompetence will result in centrelink workplace intervention....
I was thinking no wonder the commercial cash-in-hand economy is so prevalent , as instinctively if a process is unreasonably problematic , then alludes to disqualification from the endeavour
