By the forth month the bank ( I had a mortgage) recommended I go to WINZ as my OD was very high.<BR/><BR/>It was like getting blood out of a stone. With a mortgage (on my own) of $340 per week I got $240 in unemployment/accomodation and special benefit from WINZ.<BR/><BR/>How do you bugdet on that!!!!<BR/><BR/>I think some people know how to work the system.
