Once upon a time I was an expert in museum visitor experiences. Then I took a 10-year detour into management. Now I'm a semi-retired consultant.

Have been in Sydney for the last few days, my first time in several years. I have realised I am NOT big-city fit. Just existing among such crowds is really stressful.

Just watched Twelve Angry Men for the first time. Although it's fictional, I take a lot from how humility, dignity and careful questioning can win people over.

RM: Colleen Taylor was the perfect public servant and did everything she could to sound the alarm. If you're ever wondering what you should do as a public servant, ask yourself what would Colleen do.

RM: by definition you couldn't get a Robodebt if you didn't work. He rejects the characterisation of deserving vs undeserving, but these people weren't "job snobs" they were the "have a go get a go" people

RM: the notorious 2014 budget created the conditions for Robodebt - huge pressure to find additional savings in the 2015 financial year.

Some people didn't even know they had a debt until other government income (eg tax return, family tax benefits) were garnished.
Reverse onus of proof means people had to prove they didn't owe the money.
Govt often already had the evidence in their files, but didn't use it.

RM: story of Rhys Cauzzo. Was 'just a kid' living in Melbourne. He ended up getting chased by private debt collectors and died by suicide.
Another woman trying to get into rehab slid back into heroin addiction and died of an overdose.

RM: came late to covering the Robodebt story, for a number of reasons.
But he has always had a fascination with bureaucratic absurdity in literature: Kafka, Catch-22, Douglas Adams.

In early 2015, almost by accident, I landed my first management role. Reflecting on my experiences, some ten years and three positions later, I've learned a lot and have few regrets. But it hasn't always been an easy road.
