But everyone has to have a date of birth, so I chose 1 January 1989.

It took another two years but Centrelink eventually admitted that they had breached the Federal Privacy Act, and have now promised to review their policies to amend their practices. They even sent me a letter of apology.
I’m a quiet bloke and mostly keep to myself. I used to hold down a high level job, lived in big cities and now I just live by myself out in the bush.
I’ve had some really bad experiences with my privacy being breached. Not everyone understands about HIV, and some people can be quite aggressive or violent about it.
