7:00pm 8th Dec 2016 :: On The Money
This week On the Money: As Taskforce Integrity rolls out around the country, many Centrelink recipients have been warned they could be investigated for overpayments. So is the tone of these letters necessarily stern or unfairly aggressive? We find out. Plus, taking home your Christmas shopping without paying for it used to be the dream. Services like Afterpay have made owning now and paying later a reality, but is it too good to be true? Also on the show: we look at the power of social media and how businesses are building brands through the power of their online networks.
