You read of senior Australian public servant #MalisaGolightly who worked in roles that required the letter, but not the spirit, of regulations, and accepted norms of practice, being followed?

Was a central figure in the Australian government's illegal #RoboDebt project that has some 2000 deaths associated with it.

I truly doubt she was unique.

So when I hear that NDIS recipients who need a consultant to help them access wider funding are being denied funding for a consultant ...

Computers are not making decisions. The Australian government is, just like they did with #robodebt. It's unacceptable behaviour to be #AutomatingInequality for #NDIS + #AgedCare in #Australia

@feather1952 How did the ombudsman go with investigating that other controversial algorithm tool used for #Robodebt ?
Or investigating why Services Australia phones have not been answered within targets for over 10 years, eg including a callback system?
Or...(insert ongoing list here...)

Australia's "top-tier health outcomes". When this is top-tier, I'd hate to see bottom tier.

Robust support to low incomes? Is that what we're calling #robodebt now? The "robust support" of constantly harrassing you + threatening prison for money you don't owe?

Automating rapid environment assessments for extractions could ultimately push Australian flora and fauna closer to extinction.

Using AI to prepare and evaluate environmental assessments risks ‘robodebt-style’ failures, scientists say >>

Let's do RoboDebt again but this time we'll try pushing old people to kill themselves by screwing up their support funding?

Anthony Albanese is overseeing bureaucratic manslaughter IMO.

NACC's non-public 'Robodebt Six' hearings failed us all

The NACC Report on the Robodebt reinvestigation described scenarios which all but exonerated Scott Morrison and Kathryn Campbell.

The balancing act of investigations - for the sake of public administration/public policy case study, and for the sake of justice - has always been a difficult act.

… frankly, I’d say the ‘corrupt’ public servants are just as much victims as they are offenders.
Australia’s public servants work in a government system where the ‘separation’ between public service and parliament is very blurred.
Politicians are able to make veiled threats to pressure public servants into action.

The other thing that needs to be kept in mind is that ‘corruption’ is a very broad term that covers all actions and behaviours which are ‘not within the expectations of the public service’.
So, the big question is ‘What are a forms of corruption that is also criminal?’
An obvious line of questioning would be ‘What political/material gain or benefit did the offenders receive?’
