Polygamy is illegal in Australia so how is this allowed? Centre link paying multiple spouses of Islamic families - Centrelink refuses to collect data on polygamist marriages under Islamic law. Supposedly to save tax payers money.

Our government and these welfare systems are so corrupt. It makes me sick ! They have multiple wives and keep pumping babies and we the taxpayers are funding this while the take over the west

Exactly. Corruption. It’s one set of rules for us and one set for them. The bureaucracy and government are so weak as to allow this for ‘religious’ beliefs. It’s wrong on so many levels.

It’s absolutely wrong. People are rorting the system because it lets them do it. It’s messed up. I am sick of paying so much taxes and then seeing this !!!!

And they are pandering to them.

Makes me sick

Me too. It’s outrageous. 🤬🤬

Disgusting. Islamic law has no standing in Australia

Centrelink are infiltrated. They all need to be deported, they all fail the character test

Yep!

FFS I've paid taxes for 30+ years of working and now that I can't find work and need some support, I can't get the dole because my husband apparently earns too much. He doesn't and as a family of four we're in legit hardship. This makes my blood boil.

I know. How many stories have bern shared with me similar to your own. It’s a fucking disgrace. Especially since the concept of welfare was always a backup, and assistance when you fell on unfortunate times. This is just pure bleeding of taxpayers funds.

@AustralianLabor why are they even on benefits?

It should be investigated by the federal Police!

Nobody coming into our country should be allowed to receive any welfare for at least 5 years, buy houses and if they can’t speak English or abide by our laws and values they definitely shouldn’t be allowed in.

Two tier justice in Australia, what a disgrace

We all knew it was a scam from the start, they're a cult running a Ponzi scheme and the government is culpable even enticing it

Aiding and abetting the whole corrupt scheme

That is such a bunch of bullshit. Can the government grow a spine and cut them off?!

So does that mean muslim men get multiple spousal payments because they're "married" to multiple females? All polygamist marriages need to be legalised now. We can't have you giving special privileges to Muslims under Australian CNHRISTIAN law. And are all the wives over 18 years old or is CHILD MARRIAGE legal in Australia now??

It’s rife. And it gets better… The wives accuse their husband of DV. Get given govt housing, then return to their husband and sub-let the free govt house.

Polygamy is illegal in Australia, and Centrelink does not recognise or pay benefits for multiple spouses. There is no “Muslim marriage dole bonus” and this story has been debunked repeatedly for more than a decade. Here’s what actually happens: •Australian law recognises only one spouse for welfare purposes, regardless of anyone’s cultural or religious ceremonies. •Any additional relationships are treated the same as any other household member — not as spouses, and not eligible for “partner” payments. •Centrelink doesn’t collect “polygamy data” because polygamous marriages have no legal standing here. There’s nothing to “recognise.” •The original “multiple wives on benefits” story came from a 2010 Sunrise segment, which was based on incorrect assumptions and later clarified. If multiple adults live in one household, Centrelink assesses them under normal income and household rules — not religion, and not marriage count. So the entire “Centrelink pays multiple Islamic wives” narrative is a myth that gets recycled periodically to stir outrage. In short: Illegal marriages aren’t recognised. No one is getting special payments.

Excuse me why are my taxes funding something illegal?

It’s a loophole and a rort. A leaching if a system intended as backup when unfortunate times hit.

There will be plenty of islamist working in centrelink, they infiltrate all government depts

It’s an infiltration from within. Our politicians are owned by foreigners. Their allegiances lie with foreign policy for a global foreign regime not Australia. We are but their dog.

Burke brings these ppl in & they are like parasites, sponging off us.

They are. They know it and the government condones it.

Bonus reading..

Thanks. I think we all know.

Apparently it’s so difficult for an Australian to get Centrelink, I’m told they put you through the wringer. Yet Muslims can come here, have multiple wives and kids and receive payments for all. Imagine if an Australian man tried that?

There should be no other laws other than Australia's laws in Australia. If their religious beliefs and culture are not compatible with Australian laws, then send them back.

This fucking multiculturalism is pretty good, eh? Especially the bit about assimilation.

This rorts been going for decades! They get a Muslim wedding but they’re still single in the eyes of law. The gov know this but won’t dare upset the Muslim voters

I don’t care for the muslim voters. This should never have been condoned in the first place.

They are all “single mothers”. We are a bunch of suckers seriously. This has been a rort for years. Wake up Australia before it’s all gone!

We're paying for our own demise.

We are and have been. Y2K wasn’t a computer virus 😉

And I’m fighting to retire a couple of years earlier because I’m ver unwell. It is absurd that us taxpayers have nothing and thry have way too much.

There’s so many hypocrisies here. Aussies doing it hard while we pay for this free for all. And not suitable to our country, our ethos or our values.

It is appalling.

Disgusting

When the law applies to some but not to others — that’s no longer a country, it’s a circus disguised as tolerance.

It is a circus. A degenerate circus of half wits and corruptible.

It's been happening for over 10 years. Easier to ignore than police. I keep telling people that you need to identify as an Indigenous Trans Muslim Refugee to get ahead in Australia

I know right. It’s worse than anyone imagined and needs to STOP.

We must stand strong against the destruction of our way of life and our Western Values!!!

That has been happening for many years...Apparently its cheaper to pay them their "entitlement" as one family, than 4 seperate ones. Exactly what they have done to get these "entitlements" remains a mystery. Except laugh at us while collecting them..

They are registered as religious marriages, not state recognised - loophole.

I don’t really give a flying fuck how they are registered. Its a rort, needs to stop and they should fuck of to where they came from. My ancestors didn’t build this country for this bullshit. We dont pay taxes for this bullshit.

Some parts of India have introduced laws saying the government will only support 2 children. It's the family's responsibility to support any further children.

I don’t care about India.

How Well when you have a gutless government who are useless and afraid to look like racist. They stay silent .

They condone it. They love it the traitorous bastards.

Yes, exactly. They want these animals to beed us out of existence .

We need an answer on this - which Minister will answer?

@centreratio It’ll be word salad bullshit and excuses.

It would be cheaper to release people from prisons and pay them welfare too. Prisons are expensive to run.

Why do you never see an Islamic woman in any kind of employment

Wow but if l make one claim l get rejected

The hypocrisy.

Meanwhile, Australian Job Seekers have to compete against many other nations to secure a position, and often recruiters are foreign. You can be the most skilled guy there, but you aren’t wanted because of your skin colour. Isn’t diversity wonderful?
