The government will repay interest and collection fees. What it hasn’t agreed to, yet, is the payment of damages.

A clearer explanation of the Federal Judges assessment of the Robo debt debacle.

In my view the most contemptible part of the whole process was the relentless refusal of the Minister in charge (Christian Porter) and the Federal Government as a whole to quickly realise this was both practically wrong and an illegal action. It would not be hard to pull up the years of dispute around this piece of merde. But it does destroy the credibility of all the participants.

Robodebt condemned as a 'shameful chapter' in withering assessment by federal court judge

Federal Court Justice Bernard Murphy delivers a scathing assessment of the unlawful Robodebt recovery scheme, calling it a "massive failure in public administration" of Australia's social security scheme.

Must have been a xhit time dealing with it. No surprise that many, many people sent a letter of demand for alleged overpayments many years old and no way to prove otherwise went into despair and desperation. Would be particularly teh case if they diudn't have some strong family support

Morrison's government has never had a moral compass.
The Biloela case show continues to show their true colours.

Yes was thinking just today a government that locks up a mother, father and their two daughters (absolute no risk to the community) for 3 years while their case goes through the courts.

If they do that so readily its a very small step to do the same to us?

But there is the secret court case and then there is the whistle blower.... oh they already are.

 

[sptrawler]

Yes it all smells, like W.A inc. Those politicians ended up in jail too. Remember the ones lining the wealthy business peoples pockets, Laurie Connel comes to mind.lol
Oh how short our memories are.lol

‘How To Look Busy While Doing Absolutely xuck All’, By Scott Morrison

One of the things I’ve learned since being in the top job is that Aussies love a do-er. Someone who rolls their sleeves up, gets their hands dirty and chips in to get the job done.

Sounds like a lot of hard work if you ask me.

Much better to just give the impression you’re working and get paid half a mil a year to do sweet FA. Here are a few tips I asked my secretary to type up.

Go overboard on photo opps

Nothing says ‘busy’ like a professionally-styled photograph of a 55 year-old man doing barre at a meat processing plant.

If you think you’ve done too many cheesy photo shoots of yourself playing rugby on an 8-metre earth mover or hammering a nail into a F-15 fighter jet, then you haven’t done nearly enough. Aim for at least five a day – if you miss a day people will start to question why you haven’t built a quarantine facility even though you’ve had 16 months.

Put on a hard hat

There isn’t a single situation that can’t be made to look like you’re a dedicated, untiring workhorse with a florescent yellow hard hat.

Signing a document you haven’t read? Put on a hard hat. Heading off on holidays again? Hard hat. Denying you knew anything about a rape that took place 50 metres from your office. Definitely hard hat.

Make an announcement

With the Covid app, I use the W.A one, it seems strange to have a Federal one, I wonder if anyone would use it? Probably a bit like robodebt, it seemed like a good idea at the time. ?
Yes just have to move on to the next disaster, apparently inflation in the U.S has hit 5%, so that will be the next media target interest rates on the move.
If they go up, that will really cause the Morrison government some worries, hit peoples hip pocket and there is always a backlash.
