A former teacher who rorted $93,000 in carer s payments from Centrelink over four years claimed she didn t know her husband was actually still working.
Madonna Maria De Vries received the cash between 2014 to 2018 while her sick husband Dylan De Vries was working as a maths and science teacher at a $7,738-a- term private school on the Gold Coast.
She pleaded guilty to two counts of obtaining a financial advantage by deception when she faced Brisbane District Court on Tuesday, but maintained she had no idea her husband was heading off to The Southport School for 35 hours a week, The Courier Mail reported.
