Hasn't the Family Assistance Office recently changed some of their welfare policies? I'm sure I've seen advertisements. They may be getting inundated by people wanting to ask about them.
There is something about the extra money we'll be getting, which you get later if you're on a certain payment option, so a lot of people I think are changing it so they can get the extra money now.
Really? I usually get in real easy, and often they are lovely. I got in today, and she was lovely, and managed to find me some more money without me even asking! I was impressed (in fact, I still am!)
Not according to a documentary I saw. It showed a half empty room full of people answering phones and - literally - doing deep breathing exercises and rocking too and fro.

I should hope there's more than one person!
