Im hearin' ya fella, my Wife works in aged care and im a casually employed school bus driver, when the schools get closed this week i'll be unemployed and unfortunately due to how much my Wife earns, which really isn't that much to be honest, we wont be entitled to anything from centrelink unless they lower the combined income test which means we'll lose $1400 per fortnight.
Thankfully we've lived off her wages alone for the past 2yrs and have used mine to pay off debt and save so we have a bit of a buffer we can lean on but it'll only stretch so far.
