So despite video footage backing up the principle, the food safety stooges back acts lies, !!!
The salient details
1.
2.The school says it has evidence proving this to be a lie.
If records have been falsified, that would be a crime.
If so, who asked for that to be done?
Someone who did not know the school kept video records.

More applications for advance are being declined.
The 3 headed coalition of chaos era
The Minister is wise to note that advances are not the answer to continuing hardship (and people do not get respite by finding jobs when hiring levels are low).
She might one day even comprehend that it is the requirement for advances to be repaid out of future benefits is digging them a deeper hole each time they need an advance.
My advice
1.do not require the advances to be repaid until they get a job (just as we do with Student Loan debt).
2.have local WINZ offices identify if the area lacks food banks and other charity support for the poor.

The repayments would take these payments to dangerously low levels.
The growth in "refusals" indicates an attitude of "deserving poor". A Victorian view.
The lack of real commitment to lift these people out of poverty is damning, given the down turn has been engineered,
