Stuart Robert, who served as human services and government services minister, fronted the commission on Thursday.The scheme unlawfully recovered more than $750 million using a method of income averaging.
Hundreds of thousands of Australians were sent debt notices under the robodebt scheme that unlawfully recovered more than $750 million using a method of income averaging. "I've got to leave room for the fact that I may well be wrong ... I can't just give my personal opinion, I have got to continue to uphold the government policy," he said.
Mr Robert rejected this claim, saying he presented the solicitor-general's advice to the prime minister "within hours".Prof Leon told the commission she was forced to end the use of averaging to calculate debts because the government delayed making a decision to do so.
Meanwhile, former social services department branch manager Emma Kate McGuirk was accused of withholding information from the commission about her knowledge of the use of income averaging as a last resort to raise debts.'Shut this story down': Government released robodebt victims' details to stop them speaking to media
you should stand up to DONKY SCOMO AND IF HE SACKS YOU GO TO THE ANFEAR DISMISAL TRIBUNAL, so that way all the dirty business came to light.
He was only obeying Orders 🫡
Meanwhile grub billshortenmp claims he was not involved. Is everyone in Labor a liar?
Scott made me do it. This is what he was trying to say?
Lying. He knew and was determined not to back down.
The RMC at Duntroon prepares cadets such as Stuart Roberts &other selected candidates for careers in the Army by promoting leadership & integrity. Robert's 12 year military career was working within military intelligence & security. he worked his way to the rank of captain.
Lies now, according to Stuart Roberts, are not lies if they are to defend government policy. Are these guys for real? Folks that voted for them must surely question whether they have been taken for bunnies.
Complete rubbish!
You need to urgently update this article given the commission now accepts that the 'withheld' email was never received...
The WorstMinister system
I reckon he’s taking the fall for someone higher up, has cut a deal & will get away with just a post-dated warning.
