In the long run, Morrison's indiscretion is nowhere near as serious or concerning as the abuse of emergency powers (Covid) demonstrated by the state Premiers, which have had, and will continue to have, dire consequences for people's lives and livelihoods, mental health, and the general economy of the country.

SR,

You cocked up again. Robodebt started in 2016 long after Morrison left HS.

Which minister was responsible for Robodebt?

"Back in 2015, then-minister for Social Services -
Scott Morrison and then-minister for Human Services -
Marise Payne flagged a service that would increase
budgetary savings by increasing the pursuit of
outstanding debts within the Centrelink System."

"The scheme was formally announced by the Abbott
government as a part of the 2015 - 16 federal budget."

Foxy,

For starters, the Robodebt was first publically announced Mid 2016 and did not start before that, so it would have been difficult to include it in the 2015/6 budget. I think the ABC screwed up again.

What we do know is the Coalition forced many Australians to commit suicide caused by their Robodebt. The Coalition once again has blood on its hands! Add that to the deaths they caused by bushfires, floods and Covid.

Albo needs to get a Federal ICAC up and running, so those responsible can be brought to justice.

Hey Paul1405,
"Albo needs to get a Federal ICAC up and running, so those responsible can be brought to justice."

They are the leaders, the decision making class.
They make the policies, the buck stops with them, ALL of them.
They put too much time and effort into focusing on what the other team is doing;
- and no-where near enough time in working together to create fool-proofed policies that result in the betterment of our nation.

If they're looking to find the people responsible, they need only look in the mirror.
- They're a bunch of incompetent fools.

Do you know what a 'group' of weasels is called?
Answer = a 'confusion'.

A 'confusion of weasels' Paul, that's what they all are.
