This week two former government ministers fronted the royal commission into the welfare debt recovery scheme known as Robodebt. The scheme was described by a federal judge as a "shameful chapter" in Australian administration. #abc730 #auspol Jason Om

@jason_om Dutton still regards it as a “witch hunt” What a slimeball.

@jason_om This report mentions “Some suicides” among #Robodebt recipients. Some was over 2000. Some? A lot? THOUSANDS! Remember how media went berserk over four private enterprise insulation workers? It was in the news daily. For years. But rwo THOUSAND+ is reduced to “some”?! #aispol

@jason_om FINALLY…9 minutes on the worst failure of public administration in AUS history. How many suicides? How many people paid the inaccurate debts because they did not have the resources to dispute? Who is responsible? #RobodebtRC #abc730

@jason_om None of them were concerned about the people who lives were turned upside down, destroyed or driven by despair to Suicide.

@strangerous10 @jason_om It was not a debt recovery scheme, it was a theft and extortion scheme, it was unlawful and it was inaccurate and fraudulent

@NoNonsenseRN @jason_om "Ministers are responsible for the conduct of their departments."

@jason_om Let's state the obvious. The LNP didn't give a monkey's about vulnerable people on welfare, they targeted them to improve their budget bottom line so they could reduce taxes for the rich & they didn't give a toss who they hurt in the process because they were "bludgers". #aupoll

@jason_om Almost all of this became known at the time, and was widely canvassed on SM, yet @abcnews decided not to inform its audience - the population of #auspol, including all electors - of precisely who and what the #LNPfilth regime was all about #RobodebtRC

@jason_om Good to see the RC is getting coverage. The perpetrators must be held to account if only to make the next government contemplating such despicable measures to reconsider what serving in the best interests of the public really means.

@jason_om The tactics of Centrelink & the debt recovery companies that chased me was unbelievable. It was calculated manipulation trying to get me to admit to a debt I knew I didn’t owe. It went on for 18months. Letters, calls, threats. No wonder many fell under this pressure.
