Commonwealth prosecutors have this morning closed their case in the trial of a Hobart woman accused of wrongfully claiming a disability support pension for more than a decade. Jane Ellen Gluschke, 57, has been charged with 11 counts of obtaining a financial advantage by deception and four of defrauding the Commonwealth over a 14-year period from 1994. She has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the Supreme Court. Prosecutor Ian Arendt claimed Ms Gluschke actively hid profits she made from her home-based alternative medicine business from Centrelink officials in order to keep receiving the disability pension.
