Post Body

I lost my job and this is the first pay I've gotten from Centrelink. Unfortunately, my rent ate up 45% (including rent assistance) and then I had enough to part pay some bills, pay for medication and now I'm skint. I don't have enough money for my mobile bill or my internet bill. I still haven't bought any food for the fortnight. Can I lodge my tax return early, so I can pay my bills and feed myself?

Just before anyone mentions it: I can't go to a food bank, I have food allergies, and foodbanks don't cater for that.
