The last time I looked, you have to be willing to accept any job
with up to 90 mins travel time each way in order to keep on
receiving a Centrelink payment (eg. if you were offered a job
with 80 mins travel time and refused it because it would take
too long to travel, you would get penalised by Centrelink).
