which contained a “sealed chapter” that recommended referrals of individuals for what it labelled a “costly failure of public administration”.
The report said robodebt was “neither fair nor legal” and criticised the former Coalition minister Scott Morrison for allowing cabinet to be “misled” into thinking no legislative change was required to enact robodebt.Asked whether Morrison should resign, Dutton cautioned against “a trial by media” and said he did not know which ministers were mentioned in the “sealed section”.
“The commissioner has made a recommendation about that section of the report being sealed for a reason … There’s a presumption of innocence. This trial by media or trial by Bill Shorten in question time is not how a legal system works,” he said. “Mr Morrison’s provided a response, refuting the allegations that were made and if there’s a legal process that follows from that, I don’t know.”
He added: “I think it’s a process that should be respected and I note that the prime minister is trying to find opportunity to unseal the advice against the advice of the royal commissioner.”
