“He never worked, never had any money … that’s what used to s*** me too because he was so against the government, but then got his Centrelink cheque every week,” the woman from Myrtleford said.
Freeman, who remains on the run for an eighth day in Victoria’s alpine northeast, had previously referred to himself as a “disability pensioner” when mounting a legal fight over driving offences.
A family member told the Herald Sun say he has been on the pension for more than 20 years, though they questioned what entitled him to it, recalling only that he complained of a sore tooth.
“It wasn’t about working for money. It was about trying to get it from the Government,” they said.
“He always told everyone how poor he was and that he was the victim. He always wanted people to empathise … the hypocrisy. The whole family kind of laughed at him.”
