Robodebt was a cruel and illegal scheme. We can never again allow such an abuse of process and power. To fully understand how it happened and to hold those responsible to account - we need the anti-corruption commission to hold public hearings, in the public interest.

You have to wonder exactly how much money the Catholic Church has paid to lawyers over years to silence child abuse victims & avoid compensation. Certainly lawyers got more out of its Melbourne Response than victims did. I do not know how people who profit from this look their own kids in the eye.
