#RobodebtRC Former DHS Secretary Renee Leon who was sacked under sweeping departmental changes by former PM Morrison while keeping Kathryn Campbell onboard, says she was sacked because she believed in
“Frank and Fearless Advice”
She’s thrown Campbell under the bus, but now is on the defensive.

Greggery asks about what she knew about legal issues with Robodebt in her time as DHS Secretary.
She says it never crossed her mind that the scheme could be illegal.🤨
Now thrown Musolino under the bus, saying once she finally became aware of legal complaints, she referred this to her.

They didn’t go any further for now, but if she’s leading to eventually say she was assured its legal & accepted it, without checking, & as Secretary…right.

Shoutout to Angus Scott KC. He’s been smoothly rolling through the witnesses, picking away at their evidence & just cracked an ever so gorgeous smile. His speedy work leads to an early lunch adjournment for all.
#RobodebtRC #IRemember
This is actually a time @AngusTaylorMP can say #WellDoneAngus and it be appropriate!
Hearings have resumed. I’ll be late as there’s a ‘must-release’ Carmody video am working on. Taking time to get it together ✂️🎥 but it will come soon.✅

April ‘22 Press Conference
Scott Morrison is asked why he has refused to follow the advice of his Public Servants.

His answer:
“Public Servants don’t run the government”
“Prime Ministers & their Ministers run governments.”

Wish he gave that answer at the #RobodebtRC
Sadly for Scummo, #IRemember this one.
This one was for not following the advice of ASIO. But he had spoken about his refusal to follow the advice of other public servants before too; such as with Sports Australia in the wake of Bridget’s #SportsRorts scandal.

But now everything is the PS’ fault apparently.

#RobodebtRC Former DHS Gen. Manager Mark Whitnell insists he didn’t realise the letters sent to recipients didn’t warn them that their income would averaged.
Angus Scott sets him up with hard propositions only for Commissioner to knock him down 🤕🔥
Mark Whitnell appeared very shaky & frightened in his evidence today.

It only makes me angry. Pretty pissed off to see this shmuck refuse to accept responsibility, say he was busy, say he can’t recall, point the finger.
Commissioner didn’t let him off tho👍
#IRemember
Finishing his testimony, Commissioner asks who he would say was most in charge of the scheme going ahead.
Of course Whitnell blames deceased Malisa Golightly. Says she was difficult and the key decision maker. Nobody else. Ffs.

“I’m not sure”
“I just don’t recall”
DHS Manager Mark Whitnell off to a sketchy start with an already fed up Commissioner not in the mood to cut him any slack. #IRemember
Thread from Whitnell’s previous woeful appearance at the commission. 👇 Seems we are back to having no memory as a main form of evidence. Aren’t we all shocked.
Angus Scott brings up an email showing details of the Feb 2015 meeting which both Ryman & Britton said they don’t recall. Whitnell was present. Let’s see what he recalls.

#RobodebtRC Greggery suggests that with all the evidence we’ve seen it appears former DSS Dep Secretary Serena Wilson made the decision to mislead the Ombudsman by removing the 2014 legal advice. Wilson insists she can’t recall, but also can’t explain why anyone would. [1/2]
#RobodebtRC Greggery suggests Serena Wilson was “caught out” by the Ombudsman, & went on to deliberately hide the 2014 legal advice.
And that Wilson’s lack of recall is just a case of being “Dishonest”
A brutal end as Wilson rejects all assertions against her. [2/2]
And off I go to collect the kids.

Glad I could squeeze these clips out. They are frightening as Eric Banana suggests 😬

Hope to resume abit later.

#RobodebtRC Matthew Roser, former DHS General Counsel, says he ‘can’t recall’ exactly when he became aware of a spike in adverse media reports on the legalities of #Robodebt & ‘can’t recall’ if it occurred to him that he should be checking on its lawfulness. 😳 #IRemember
“It’s not something that I specifically focused on”
“I was certainly not aware of any issues or concerns”
“Not that I recall”
“I can’t recall”

Commissioner starts to grill now on “Best available evidence” that the Dept used when they weren’t even using the best avail evidence
Roser trying to justify using best available evidence when there is “no regard to what it actually proves” (Commissioner’s words).

Roser has no real answer.

NOT COOLING DOWN JUST YET as the #RobodebtRC lines up 4 former DHS Big Shots for today🔥💺:
➡️ Tim Ffrench - former Chief Counsel DHS
➡️ Matthew Roser - former Gen. Counsel DHS
➡️ Jason Ryman - former Director DHS (2nd app)
➡️ Scott Britton - former Manager DHS (2nd app)
Yesterday a long-standing DHS employee, much further down the chain, recalled everything, insisting it was more a case of not being able to forget rather than not being able remember. Let’s measure Ms Blake’s recollection with that of today’s MUCH more senior DHS people.
And keep #IRemember going, to remind those big Robodebt enablers & implementers, that we aren’t fucking idiots.

#RobodebtRC Jeannie-Marie Blake, longstanding DHS/Services Australia employee for over 20 years says

“I REMEMBER”

What courage. What honesty. What a remarkable witness! ❤️ #IRemember
Jeannie just blew apart & humiliated each and one of those big seniors who say they can’t freakin recall anything.
Amazing! Someone had to say it! Jeannie you legend!
Might I say, more to come from Ms Blake’s explosive evidence. I’ll be analysing and going through it allllll night long. Can’t wait for kids to go to bed tonight! #IRemember

#RobodebtRC Service Australia Compliance Officer tells the commission she is disgusted with other more senior witnesses constantly saying they Don’t Recall, Didn’t Turn Their Mind, etc.

She wanted to tell the Royal Commission something very clear:

“I REMEMBER”

Wow.
Jeannie-Marie Blake. What a groundbreaking testimony, what a humiliation on all those PS saying they can’t fucking remember.

She humiliated them all. Amazing.
I was capturing that and hoping to release a video. In the end it seems nothing recorded and I lost everything. I don’t even have a photo of this brave witness.

But I hope others can do that good work until I’m able to! She deserves it! She was sensational! ❤️😮❤️😢❤️

There are facts we've studied as Historians that many do not know

1)Opkoroko(stock fish) saved many children from death.The protein, iron and oil component cured their Kwashiokor. Red Cross brought them from Norway.

2)The unprepared Biafran army...
gave the Nig. Army a good run at the beginning. Under 3 years, they refined their Oil, built Bombs(Ogbunigwe), amoured vehicles and tanks, air bomber etc.
3)Young Biafran women pretended to be old, wore ragged clothes, rubber ashes, stayed by burning fire so that they may not be raped by the soldiers.
4)Nig. Soldiers entered the University of Nigeria Library and tore books and took them saying 'Na these books..
