    I want to know #HowManyDied.

    #Robodebt.

    I see 10 deaths occured in a far smaller group of CentreLink dependents who'd wrongfully had their benefits cut off.

    (This may be #BureaucraticManslaughter. The government kept it a secret too.)

    Can you imagine the effects on your mental health of being a #APS #PublicServant and having to cut vulnerable folk's finanances off? And if you knew it was because the system was broken?

    Is this the I'm reading this as the first sledge-hammer level change in the public service that would act to prevent future #RoboDebt-like illegal actions by the #AustralianGovernment.

    Show me what I've missed.

    I'm not counting the $3000 fine that could be applied to Australian public servants who refuse to give evidence.
    AIU that' s around $1.50 for each RoboDebt death. FU #MarkDreyfus.
    And, AIUI, they could just quit and avoid the fine entirely.

    A $3000 fine - let's see, death toll of RoboDebt remains secret, but 2000 has been estimated.

    If so the fine would be about $1.50 for each RoboDebt triggered death.

    As an excercise in supposedly recreating confidence in government, this insulting stuff from #MarkDreyfus is a garbage fail.

  4. The boys and girls club of senior #APS Australian public servants amazes.

    Findings against one, who gets a job as vice chancellor at a university and a friend gets a defence of them published in the #SaturdayPaper.
