Remember “robodebt”?
diver dan,
What a horrible & insensitive thing that was, it was akin to Robosalaries !

The Libs could try to replicate what they did well in the '70s, esp. Victoria, before they went lurching right and north with Murdoch & Howard, the state government of Rupert 'Dick' Hamer, a 'liberal' (from Wiki):

'Hamer, assisted by key allies ... moved to modernise and liberalise government in Victoria. Environmental protection laws were greatly strengthened, the death penalty was abolished, Aboriginal communities were given ownership of their lands, abortion and homosexuality were decriminalised and anti-discrimination laws were introduced.'

Hi Andras,

That's not the Federal Liberal Party of today, that's progressive liberalism. A Liberal Party under Peter Dutton will lunge further to the right, they would love to embrace progressive ideas, but unfortunately they will have excuses why such can't be so.

But then again, just this week, "Hard Line Dutton" has morphed into 'Softy Pete" with a completely new persona, he has become a lover of butterflies and a smeller of flowers. The poor chap has been completely misunderstood for all these years. Some will say; "But Dutton boycotted Rudd's apology to the 'Stolen Generation', that was the old Dutton, the new Pete will not only embrace Aboriginalism, but may well be seen to be kissing black babies at election time in marginal seats.
