| Other information | p.38 - Application seems to start with a letter rejecting her claim to an invalid or old age pension being sent to AH, 14 March 1919, with a note explaining that she is not a British subject (p.36) |
Mrs B. Schrader, a neighbour, 23/3/19, p.34: Her husband's brother was naturalised in 1913 (Austrian, resident since 1899). She is a widow of 1 year, with 4 kids. 'She is in a delicate state of health having a bad leg so is unable to work.' Now realises can't receive it as unnaturalised. Children born in country; lived in Australia for 15 years. Wants to know how to apply.
Blanche Leven, E Martin, Eva Carrington, to H&T Dept,10/4/1919, p21: saw local advert that she was applying and 'she is not a fit or proper person... during the war she abused the British she has also of been fined for sly grog £50... and she has also been a keeper of a brothel and she is a dangerous character and uses foul language[.] she says english people are no good' - only wants pension.
Broken Hill Police Report, 14/10/21: confirm above re:liquor selling fine and 'Her moral character is bad.' Also 'She was reputed to be entirely in sympathy with the enemy... She is said to have spoken disloyally amongst her neighbours during the war, but no evidence can be produced... Applicant's husband was an unnaturalised Austrian of bad character and reputation, she is a woman of excitable, and offensive disposition, her moral character is questionable, and in my opinion... she would revert to former practices.' unfit.
p.14 - describes her nationality and both parents as 'Austrian Slave'
8/12/1922, J G M McLaren, Secretary, p.8 - pencilled note that daughter Annie applied
Police Report, 29 Nov 1922, p.11: No complaints against her but 'her character and mode of living have not improved. Her two elder children, a girl 19 years of age, and a boy of 17 years, apparently prefer to live in dirt and idleness rather than work. The girl's moral character is questionable, and the boy's reputation is bad.'
Refused again, 8/12/1922, J G M McLaren, Secretary, p.8
She writes again, 15 Feb 1924, p.6, asking if she can apply again, as still keen to access the old age pension. Ditto 8/1/26, p.4 - both times told there's no point. She won't be approved.
