One of the men, 22-year-old Ali Assaad, is the secretary of Sydney charity Dar al Quran wa Sunnah, which employed a man accused by Lebanese authorities of funding the Islamic State terrorist group.

Police allege Assaad collected more than $152,000 in child care benefits in the past financial year and claimed to be looking after children in his Moorebank home in Sydney’s south-west when he was actually in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

All will be revealed on the 7.30 Report on the ABC tonight.

Surprised?  Nope, not not one little bit.  Have know for a while that fraud (allegedly!!) was being committed (rumours on the grapevine) so am pleased to hear that finally the law is catching up with them.

Does not take long for some to find out the lurks!

As a taxpayer it makes me furious that taxpayer money is (allegedly) going to ISIS!!

This makes one wonder what kind of oversight the Commonwealth has over the use of childcare funds.

Are these the only people ripping off the system?

Missed out on the 7.30 report ... engrossed in the Ladies' gymnastics :) 

... will have to do a catch up

Unfortunately with the entitlement mentality there is probably many more... not just childcare entitlements either.

Abby, it was not much of a report...was on at the very end of the show.  You missed nothing.

Surely these rorters, if found guilty, should be deported back to the country from which they came.  Nobody in previous governments seems to have used much common sense in determining who were suitable immigrants genuinely wanting to make Australia their home.  It seems there are many we have let into this country who have no wish to assimilate, and have brought all the problems of their home country with them.   Our present government needs to reduce and review our immigration policy, until such time as our economy has recovered.  We are constantly being reminded of the fact that the government needs to cut expenditure.

Really, if "Turnbull's Thought Bubbles" of including the value of our homes in the Aged Pension Assets Test, and former Treasurer Joe Hockey's idea for making our own aged citizens work until they are 70 before they can receive an Aged Pension, then we are hardly in a position to assist foreign immigrants enter our country.  The current government has already frozen Medicare rebates paid to providers for bulk billing of pathology and medical consults, which in turn will lead to the end of bulk billing when providers can no longer absorb increases in their practice running costs.   

This government hasn't a clue, or a care, about the average Australian worker and citizen.  This government is only interested in the top end of town.  I have not heard ONE WORD about this government's plans for the sick, the poorand homeless, and the elderly in our society.    Let me make a wager...I reckon it won't be very long before they give  themselves another payrise.....I can't ever see them freezing their own pay increases.

From Play Fairly: "Surely these rorters, if found guilty, should be deported back to the country from which they came. "

What should we do with rorters who were born here? To me, they're just as bad.
