As we know there are two theories of what happened for robodebt to start. DSS went along or DSS were had. While we await the final report, I note this May 2016 email chain 2nd hand reporting DSS reactions to the 1st AAT saying 'get payslips'. #RobodebtRC robodebt.royalcommission.gov.au/system/files/e…
I love that DHS' primary concern to the emergence of AAT's questioning robodebt is 'ummm...this may be a lot of work and my unit isn't going to do it, yours is'. This is the now infamous March 2016 ppt that every DSS witness got hit with robodebt.royalcommission.gov.au/system/files/e… #RobodebtRc
Tweets like these ensure I, @chrisrudge and others don't lose track of exhibits. They're all called things "re: fw" "new version brief" etc. I 've lost one that refers to three existing legal advices on how you don't need to remediate errors if there's no appeal? #RobodebtRC
I've spent hours trying to find it again now. It's from Nov 2019. Basically, they were saying, it's legitimate for us to wait for people to appeal their 'amato like' debts. They put a 'let's write a letter to everyone' option to cabinet. Class action stopped that. #RobodebtRC
people affected by any residual pre 2015 last resort averaging have no such leverage. We will see if the final report calls for an audit of those, even if they only did 2009-2015. That exhibit shows mindset internally when they are found out= no remediation. #RobodebtRC
Still can't find this email about retrospective review of averaged debts. I'm getting paranoid...am I so far gone I hallucinated an exhibit? If anyone sees it put me out of my misery, it referred to three pieces of advice on file about the question in non robodebt matters.
