The Robodebt six. Is the NACC protecting Scott Morrison? - Michael West
The NACC is considering investigating those deemed most responsible for Robodebt, and whether to make the hearing - any hearing - public.

From the friendly folk who brought you Robodebt…
The new Robodebt investigation person - who was appointed after the investigation into why the investigation into Robodebt was never actually investigated - is currently re-investigating the original Robodebt non-investigation

Does anyone know where the investigations on investigations on investigations on #Robodebt have ended up? Or have they managed to exhaust everyone seeking answers?
After 18 months of operation and a cost of $140 million to Australians, the staggeringly incompetent NACC has concluded its top 3 major corruption investigations, and guess what?
It has found no corruption.
The #NACC is a failure and a national embarrassment.

The oldest Robodebt proverb: the junior staffers were always right
Public pressure paved the way for the reconsideration of the NACC's appalling original decision.
Does make one wonder about how many other non-investigations the NACC may have got wrong.
A shout-out to the junior NACC officer who recommended investigating the #Robotdebt6 but got overruled.

1. Automation can be great, but this administration is making it harder for states to use automation to expand coverage.
2. Automation to detect fraud has a really bad track record in practice.

But of course… never forget that these are the lying scoundrels who brought you Robodebt.
Today the Coalition made clear if elected they would sack public sector workers, cut their pay & return to funnelling our money to the big consultants. We lose jobs, pay, expertise, services & money spent in local communities. Good for consultants profits, bad for the country

Given no one has been held accountable in the 2 yrs since Robodebt RC the sobering takeaway is:
If you're a member of the elite & you screw over innocent people there'll be no consequences for you.
