The Greens are calling for a forward-looking Robodebt Royal Commission, and for the Labor Government to address structural factors in our country’s social security system to ensure a callous debt-collection scheme like Robodebt never happens again. 

Greens social services spokesperson, Senator Janet Rice, said:

Report shows significant harm and trauma from the horrific Robodebt scheme

Robodebt, the illegal use of income averaging to generate false debts, cost over a billion dollars and caused devastating emotional and psychological harm to people across the country.
