I’ve just come home from Centrelink. Good news – they allow some leeway between selling a house and buying another one and I don’t lose my pension or pension card in the interim. That’s a relief. I have ten essential medications, and at $35 each without the PBS concession, that’s $350 a month. I shouldn’t complain, but …
I was also able to get them to remove my shareholding in CO-LT, the company I invested in 10 years ago. I’m afraid the banks lost patience with the guy, took his City Beach house (rather abruptly, I believe) in lieu of his debt, and he fled overseas. I’ve heard he’s now deceased. Regrettable, but he was obsessed to the point of mania.
Anyway, I lost my $12,000 investment. Ce la vie.
