A mother jailed for rorting more than $50,000 from Centrelink will only have to pay back $5,600.
Maria Alimic - from Corio, a suburb in Geelong - only has to pay back a fraction of the price because of a bureaucratic bungle, Geelong Magistrates Court heard on Thursday
For three years, the 52-year-old mother of two lied about her employment income, and continued to rake in tens of thousands of dollars in disability support pension payments, The Geelong Advertiser reported.
