'Arthur and Martha are two halves of a maladjusted whole who happen to share the same body. As a multiple personality they live separate lives, banking at different banks and and taking their bodily functions in turn... In the midst of this constant negotiation, these two hapless characters are constantly embroiled in the daily grind of getting enough to eat, while trying to follow their artistic careers.

'After exploring every conceivable opportunity for paid work, they become officially and "artfully" unemployed. Martha applies for Newstart Allowance and Arthur applies for a Disability Pension. Their lives take on an unpredictable turn when they are subjected to Centrelink's pitiless scrutiny ... Arthur and Martha beat the bureaucrats in a bizarre plot that will entertain, while poking even more holes in the welfare safety net.' (Back cover)
