Who can forget Bill Shorten’s inspirational RoboDebt address? – “The last government gave us Robodebt. The last government gave us robo-victims. The last government gave us robo-denial. Today, Labor will give the victims some robo-justice.”
SHORTEN: (National Press Club) “I don’t buy that we haven’t had Robojustice, Sarah.
We helped organize the class action, which saw the payments.
I mean, that doesn’t compensate people for what they’ve gone through, but it’s $1.8 billion better than it was before.
I think it’s a permanent entry on the Wikipedia’s of all of those Ministers who are involved.
They’ll carry that with them for all time.
I think that we’ve learned new processes as a result, and we’ve been responding to the Royal Commission’s recommendations.
You can never get true justice, because it should never have happened. It was unlawful.” – Minister Shorten’s address to the National Press Club Q&A | National Press Club | (PDF available)
Robodebt instigators paying for their crimes?
Former prime minister Scott Morrison, is acting as an informal conduit for Australia to Trump.
He’s also with American Global Strategies as non-executive vice chairman and in a strategic advisor role with AUKUS investor DYNE Maritime.
Obviously, about connections, not expertise.
Labor has much to answer for, in enabling this criminal’s career path.

Campbell eventually lost this promotion, but even so, it was a government selection that demonstrated a total lack of empathy and compassion for RoboDebt sufferers.
“Former senior public servant Kathryn Campbell has resigned from her $900,000 a year Department of Defence job in the wake of the robodebt royal commission report.
The news comes days after confirmation that Campbell had been suspended without pay from her senior Aukus advisory position following the royal commission report into the robodebt scandal.” – Kathryn Campbell quits $900,000 top defence job after robodebt royal commission report | Daniel Hurst | The Guardian
Hard to believe there are no laws in place to punish ministers for “unlawful” acts. Or that accomplishing nothing, save a refund for people who had suffered enormous unwarranted punishment that led to suicides is a satisfactory result.
Seems some critical entries in the relevant Liberal Minister’s Wikipedia pages, is Shorten’s idea of “Robojustice”.
