Robodebt was a mass deception based on a cruel bet: that people on income support would simply give up and pay debts they didn't owe.
Today I tabled a petition from Kath Madgwick and Jenny Miller calling for those responsible to finally be held accountable.

Very welcome federal funding boost for youth mental health services, including $412k for Headspace Hobart. Young Tasmanians have some of the highest rates of mental health conditions in Australia and desperately need access to well-funded support services. #auspol #politas
