Sunrise host Natalie Barr has strongly criticized those responsible for the “mathematically flawed” illegal Robodebt scheme, which caused significant harm to countless Australians and tragically led some individuals to take their own lives. Her condemnation comes ahead of the release of a royal commission report, which will recommend civil and criminal prosecution for senior public servants involved in the unlawful robodebt scheme. Barr questioned Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie on how those responsible for the scheme should be held accountable. McKenzie emphasized the need to await legal and royal commission outcomes before making any comments. Education Minister Jason Clare expressed his sympathy for the families affected by the scheme and acknowledged the serious consequences it had, including the suicide of Jennifer Miller’s son, Rhys Cauzzo. Clare highlighted the importance of considering the human tragedy associated with robodebt, even as efforts are made to determine responsibility. The royal commission inquiry, initiated in August 2022, examined the introduction, design, and implementation of robodebt, as well as its ramifications and the involvement of third-party debt collectors. The settlement between robodebt victims and the government amounted to $1.2 billion, and it is crucial that steps are taken to prevent such a tragedy from occurring again.
