Those who imagined, designed and delivered robo-debt put their personal ambition above the well-being of the people they were meant to serve. But there were some on the front-line who knew from the very beginning that this government shakedown was wrong.
One, Colleen Taylor, came forward at the royal commission. While senior leaders failed to recall, or refused to say how robo-debt happened, she told the truth and helped crack one of the biggest scandals in Australian government history wide open.

Colleen Taylor is a hero. Australia needs more people like Colleen!
The government being deliberately obnoxious to people who desperately need help to the point of causing their suicide. Demonising people who have accepted government help, using generalisations (the underlying mechanism used for bigotry, prejudice, racism, etc) so you can illegally target them with a debt recovery scheme. If MPs do not face court then the system is corrupt.
