I have had a number of constituents come to see me who over the years have been breached by Centrelink. The most common reason that a person comes to see me when they have been breached is that they were called into work on that day. That was not considered an acceptable excuse. I had one person that it happened to three times, and she was in a lot of trouble. She was faced with the situation of 'Do I go to work or do I go to an appointment?'
