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.

DEWR sought an assurance report on the Targeted Compliance Framework. They got it. It told them clearly that the TCF could NOT be assured. And yet the government continues to administer this unlawful system so it can suspend income support payments for bullshit reasons.

Despite the govt trying to hide it we now know that 200,000 older people are waiting for home care.
The money is budgeted, providers are ready - there's no reason why Labor can't release more care packages TODAY.
If they won't choose to do it, the Senate will force their hand.

People are dying waiting for care, because Labor won’t release more home care packages. The Greens say that’s not good enough and we need Labor to do better now.

Waiving some small historical debts and providing compensation for illegal income apportionment is welcome, but it's just scratching the surface.
The govt needs to implement the Robodebt Royal Commission recommendations now and get to work on creating a social security system that lifts us all up.

Our social services system degrades people and grinds them down, and keeps everyone who has a job scared and compliant. It needs to be rebuilt.
But by implementing the Robodebt Royal Commission recs we can at least limit the system's harms. That's what the Greens' bill would do.
