Worse than Robodebt is the Robopaying of useless bureaucrats' salaries & benefits.
Just read a moment ago that pollies with homes in the ACT & Qeanbeyan still receive $290/day travel allowance when sitting in Parliament.
Both rorts are unacceptable & two wrongs don't make a Right !
I wonder if Albo & gang & the Opposition will be looking into that over the next two days ?

Come to think of it Robopay should really be Robbingpay !

According to YOUR link:

No connection to Morrison."

What utter rubbish. Morrison conceived of it, got it into the 2015 budget then as treasurer from September that year worked to ensure it was up and running the next year.

His grimy, dishonest, vindictive, small minded and punitive fingerprints were all over this from go to bloody woe and to even insinuate they weren't is dishonest of the highest order.

I'd imagine with decent bureaucrats this scheme would have worked rather well !

Indy,
Yes, that's because you're still living in the '70s! You refuse to acknowledge the changes that have occurred since then, because then you'd lose your convenient scapegoat.

Bureaucrats have to follow orders. They can (and if media reports are correct, did) warn the politicians, but can't override political decisions.

The global gang of moronic western leaders are as dumb as you can get anyway.
Maybe even dumber, their IQ level is about as low as a goldfish.
I may even be insulting the goldfish, as they're likely smarter.

Sanctioning Russia, especially in the case of Europe,
- Is about as dumb as Australians boycotting all supermarkets, petrol stations and the power grid.

It's about as smart and logical as playing Russian Roulette,
- Only you put a bullet in EVERY SINGLE CHAMBER.
Maybe we should call it Western Roulette, that's how dumb they are.
There's little hope for western society with these fools running the show.
