Thanks Steele for the thread, I was going to put that very topic up myself this morning.

RoboDebt was run by RoboMorrison when he was Treasurer, says it all, Was Morrison the not so secret Minister for RoboDebt?

What's the basis of that "fact",
rache,
This is the reason why Coalition Governments in Australia will always have to put more effort into governing. The Public Service is working against them out of principle.
Labor Governments have the support of the Public Service but it is their policies & mentality that undoes whatever little positive a Coalition achieved !
Meanwhile, the working class cops it sweet as always !

With some members of the Coalition government having had an obsessive dislike of welfare recipient per se, believing most were undeserving lazy, worthless 'dole bludgers' it would be easy for them to embrace the Robodebt scheme as a means of punishing those deemed unworthy. The Royal Commission will find people like Morrison, Roberts, Ruston, Tudge and Porter will have a lot to answer for, not the least the suicide of many innocent victims of their failed Robodebt scheme. All part of the great legacy of ScumO'.!

Albanese has started slinging the old 'closure' nonsense around, totally ignorant (as in everything) of the fact that the victims of the Coalition’s witch-hunt were fully compensated and apologised to long ago, when their lawyer announced that they had "received closure".

If our increasingly nutty PM wants to spend $30 million on a Royal Commission, he should call for one into the Covid period, when freedoms were lost, lives and jobs ruined, the general economy wrecked, by mainly Labor premiers who caught the totalitarianism disease, and abused us as we have never been abused before.

And yes. I do remember the pink batts inquisition. Also wrong; also showing that our entire political class is rubbish.

Robodebt victims are still waiting for $112 million
in settlement payments.

Almost 400,000 victims of
Centrelink's Robodebt scandal are still waiting to
be paid money owned to them which equates to the interest
owned on money unlawfully collected by the then government
in unlawfully generated debts through its inaccurate
income averaging system which was used between 2015 and 2019.

Answers need to be given as to WHY this happened. To ensure it
does not happen again. An independent body like a Royal
Commission is the appropriate course of action.
