Robodebt, next steps
Now we know that 16 bureaucrats have been referred for investigation we need to also refer the debt collection agencies as well.
It was their constant harassing phone calls that led to some recipients to end their lives.
I believe that involuntary manslaughter charges should be considered.
If an employer is negligent in decisions and practices that led to someone dying can be charged,tell me what is the difference?
Decisions and lack of action from the public servants led to innocent lives being lost.
Constant harassment by the debt collectors led to lives being lost.
Let's do right by the families who lost loved ones and charge these people.
What is Robodebt?
Introduced in 2015 as part of the then Liberal-National Coalition Government's strategy to reduce the fiscal deficit, Robodebt was a compliance and debt recovery programme to claw back supposed overpayments to welfare recipients.
Many of these debts were wrong.
