This woman managed to apparently steal $100,000 fund her pokies addiction by creating hundreds of imaginary domestic violence victims and then somehow getting their benefits into currency that she could then feed the pokies with.
Being a former public service employee within SA's state government, I can assure you that it’s every bit as bad if not inconceivably worse than any story you will ever hear in the media.
This exact same thing has happened at two of the depts. I worked for so I know exactly the lengths she would have gone through to actually get the money in cash form to use personally and to do it for ten years.
SA's state government is a literal despotic safe haven. You have despots who operate in a nepotistic environment where people can wind up involved in projects with absolutely no prerequisites or useful skills apart from knowing the right people or you can have complete sociopaths being placed in a position of power over vulnerable people with issues so bad that even the most hardened journalist wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
In saying all that though there are a few good people in state government. But they usually leave as soon as something better comes along and 90-99% of the time this means either going interstate or overseas for opportunities that don't exist in Adelaide.
