      They estimate the review takes 48 days (not 48 hours)

      I genuinely don’t know if this is you making a joke at Centrelink’s expense, or you being serious.

      If it’s serious, that’s absolutely atrocious. A response taking over a month and a half is absolutely unacceptable from what is supposed to be a wealthy developed country. For 2 days to be a target that they just keep missing is bad enough, but for them to not even be targeting a reasonable amount is a failure of epic proportions.

      • Seriously, 48 days with the ARO (Authorised Review Officer). It is that long because often it involves complex legal and/or accounting calculations. Doesn’t matter if yours is a simple review, you wait in that queue.

        I wasn’t even notified of the outcome of one of mine.

        Another time I received ac letter that said the thousands I supposedly owed them had been reduced to 64 cents (as if to troll me). No apology.
