I believe the Government has chosen not to have certain infamous prior Ministers for Social Services called in front of a court of law. https://twitter.com/DarrenODonovan/status/1328164275525808133
I also suppose the case that the Commonwealth of Australia does not owe a common law duty of care to social security recipients was not the ace in the hole we were led to believe.
This does, however, completely accord with this Government's strategy defending #Robodebt: a protracted, attritional grind at the expense of victims, their families and the public, only to totally cave at the first whiff of true scrutiny. Criminal cowardice in the extreme.
This is not the end of justice for the victims of #Robodebt. It is the beginning of a new paradigm in which the Commonwealth answers for its crimes. Too many people have died for this outcome to satisfy the community. Expect us.
Let me reiterate: not ONE person responsible for allowing the welfare department of Australia to act like a common loan shark with fatal results, has faced personal, professional or legal consequences. Whistleblowers have suffered more than the architects of #Robodebt.
