Tenants and their neighbours came clean on $26.8 million in undeclared income and $28.2 million in property they had failed to declare to the Department of Family and Community Services (FACS) under the protection of a seven-week amnesty.

The Turnbull Government will need the support of the Senate crossbench to pass its education funding bill, after one Liberal senator announced he may cross the floor and vote against the government.
West Australian Liberal senator Chris Back, who is retiring at the end of the week, says he cannot support the government's so-called Gonski 2.0 reform in its current form.
Labor is also opposed to the package, claiming it will give schools less money than they were promised under the previous Labor government.
Senator Back, who is a former member of the Catholic Education Commission, says the government's current plan would disadvantage Catholic schools

Turnbull Government backbencher George Christensen has introduced a bill to parliament aimed at preserving Sunday penalty rates, breaking ranks with his Coalition colleagues.
The private member's bill aims to prevent the Fair Work Commission's cuts to weekend penalty rates.
Labor has a similar bill before the House, but Mr Christensen's goes one step further.
He says it would also ban unions and employers from bargaining away penalty rates when negotiating enterprise agreements.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is warning about the dangers of what's known as "phishing" scams.
Phishing involves criminals trying to access personal details like passwords and credit card numbers, often by pretending to be from a trusted organisation.
Delia Rickard from the A-triple-C told the ABC says there's been a noticeable increase in the crime recently.
