I am advised that the government has already indicated its view on this matter and that it is monitoring the situation. The government wishes to actually reduce the level of penalties. If Centrelink determines that a job seeker has no reasonable excuse and three no show, no pay penalties have been applied, then a CCA would automatically be triggered.
