Australian politics: Kathryn Campbell, senior public servant, suspended following damning findings of robodebt inquiry

Kathryn Campbell, a senior official from the Department of Defence, has been suspended without pay following the release of the robodebt inquiry findings. The suspension took effect on July 10, three days after the royal commission report was tabled in parliament. The report stated that Campbell, who previously headed the Department of Human Services, was responsible for an unlawful program. It also criticized her for not taking appropriate action when presented with evidence of the program’s illegality. While the Department of Defence has not commented on Campbell’s future, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed confidence that immediate action would be taken. Campbell has not responded to media requests for comment.
