red750 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 On 4th April, we received the government $750 Economic Support Payment in our account. On 7th April, Centrelink wrote a letter advising the payment had been made and "could take up to 3 days from (date of letter)" to receive the payment. The letter was received in today's mail, 12 days after the payment was received in our account. My wife's letter has not arrived yet. ???????

willedoo Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I think when you have a mygov account, they don't send letters anymore, just messages in the mygov account inbox. And an email to tell you there's a message in the inbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah, my wife and I got the letter via MyGov and the money went into our account on the day Centrelink said it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Ours have just arrived. Very supprised. Something from this government! . It will just payout the Council rates, Water, & almost the power bills. spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 No way it would pay our rates, let alone water and power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Pension rates with thanks, to Parramatta council. So pay with the left & receive with the right. spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Road freight - which also means mail and parcels - is up 55% over normal levels, according to Loadshift. The freight movers are choked up because virtually nothing is going by air. They're loving it. I wanted to send a 2kg, largish dimensions parcel from Perth to Riddell Creek in Vic, and I started looking around for quotes, and the quoted prices were 70%-120% above normal rates - $26.00 to $43.00. I took the parcel to the PO and it cost me $15.35. He probably won't get it for a fortnight, though - even AP has warnings on its website, with the message, "We are currently experiencing delivery delays due to a high volume of parcels in our network."
