The NACC's decision to not investigate robodebt seemed wrong to everyone but them.
It's taken too long to correct the error. Geoffrey Nettle AC KC’s review should be public & the Commissioner should reconsider his position to rebuild public trust in the NACC.

One of the key differentiators for me has been the focus on good policy over clever politics amongst the new crop of independents. The Greens are frustratingly focused on political optics over policy; the majors more so.
