Section 1347(a) of the Social Security Act 1991 (Cth) creates one continuing breach constituted by multiple separate acts of obtaining payment, and is not duplicitous when charged over a period covering multiple fortnightly payments. The provision is distinguishable from the offence considered in [name withheld] v [name withheld] because s 1347 creates distinct breaches for obtaining payment of the social security payment itself and for obtaining payment of an instalment. A self-employed person's share of partnership profits constitutes 'ordinary income from remunerative work' for the purposes of s 1073.
