How can we ever believe this outcome, after NACC had to be forced to investigate Robodebt?
Every action from Canberra over this has been about kicking the can down the road, trying to diffuse responsibility, sitting on their hands hoping people will forget. Now NACC is coming out with the most predictable outcome possible: punish a few bureaucrats but leave the politicians who designed and enthusiastically oversaw the scheme unscathed.
I am so sick of our political class in Australia. They don't care about people, or what's best for Australia. They only care about protecting their own. The NACC is just another accomplice.
Nothing they say will convince me Scott Morrison isn't culpable for Robodebt. He was the minister for social services, he oversaw the scheme. Our most vulnerable citizens suffered, struggled and died because of him. He bears ultimate responsibility.
