Short sighting from the welfare office this morning!
While I was waiting in line, a couple of Aboriginal folks wandered in and headed over to the Medicare line (long story short, Medicare decided to merge their offices with Centrelink. They have a separate queue though). After a while, they came back and spoke to the guy who was booking people in to see somebody.
Turned out that they believed that since they were Aboriginal, they could immediately jump to the head of the queue and see somebody immediately.
Needless to say, the guy booking us in told them to go to the back of the line. They repeated that they were Aboriginal, but the guy wouldn't have any of it.
They got pissy and decided to jump across the street to use the phone box there.
