#RobodebtRC With overwhelming evidence suggesting former DSS Deputy Secretary Serena Wilson pushed for income averaging knowing it was illegal, Justin Greggery KC is absolutely blistering as he squeezes out some inconceivable admissions.

I’ll be rolling back the tape on some of the early hearings from the commission with related info where possible.
In respect of Wilson, she insisted she couldn’t recall key meetings & discussions she had with senior figures including Morrison….

Note she directly reported to Morrison, and her role was to provide policy advice to him.
Evidence revealed she was aware from back in 2015 that using income averaging was illegal
She had meetings with Morrison prior to the scheme going ahead but says can’t recall much from it

Evidence showed that she sought legal advice & was advised that it was illegal.
Despite this, she wrote in response to an Ombudsman enquire that their scheme checked out legally. Utterly false.
She even met the Ombudsman to discuss further but didn’t mention the illegality

So this these clips are where it all came undone for Serena Wilson, as Greggery KC was relentless in his pursuit for truth.
Have a good Saturday all. I’m out so I’ll check on later again tonight. 👯

Wow. So there is a Part 4 here, somehow I’d missed it.
Serena Wilson confirms that Malisa Golightly told her that:
“Mr Morrison wishes to proceed in a way that DID NOT require legislative change.” #RobodebtRC [4/3]

Very interesting, of course we know Scummo went on to deny Senate numbers being a contributing factor, and whilst it’s not super clear cut, I think, it is extra evidence that Morrison was pushing to get Robodebt going without leg. change being required, bcoz of the Senate issue.
Also she conceded that after receiving complaints about income averaging from her own staff, including a senior staffer Murray Kimber, she didn’t do anything about it. Says she was foolish. KC insists it was a conscious effort to turn a blind eye.
