'Government broke the system': Labor calls for robodebt royal commission | Sky News Australia

Anthony Albanese and Bill Shorten have reiterated Labor’s demands for a royal commission into the robodebt scheme saying the government “broke the system”. The scheme matched tax and income reported to Centrelink to automatically generate debts from people including many who were found to owe no money at all. Almost 500,000 debts totalling more than $720 million will be refunded to Australians after the Federal Court declared the scheme unlawful.

“This is a royal commission that the Morrison government is bringing on itself.” Labor leader Anthony Albanese said an inquiry would uncover when the government knew the scheme had been declared unlawful and argued it was needed to prevent another disaster from happening. "It was wrong. It was illegal. It can never be allowed to happen again," Mr Albanese said on Twitter on Tuesday morning.

AlboMP billshortenmp Compare indeed. Liberals are alredy moving on. Nothing to see here, just the normal shit from the Liberal party.

AlboMP billshortenmp Good idea...need to know why they persisted with it for so long and how many lives were seriously impacted by it.

AlboMP billshortenmp Who listens to these two losers ? Oh yeah, other losers !

AlboMP billshortenmp What about LANTITE? Money making scheme at core. Add to that unis lying to students, not following TEQSA standards, holding degrees hostage, bullying students, students feeling suicidal bc of it...should I keep going? MerlinoDanTehanWannon etc don't care. Will you?

AlboMP billshortenmp The Liberals must be held responsible for hounding innocent people to their graves with corrupt fake debts they knew were wrong. These Coalition crooks have no morals at all.

AlboMP billshortenmp Is there any Aussie politician left who knows their sh!ts?

AlboMP billshortenmp That's a laugh as Labor were the ones that made Robodebt happen ...Real funny or they are so desperate in cookie points....
