A former coalition minister and government departments failed to properly consider the personal heartbreak and harm stemming from the illegal robodebt scheme.
The former head of the independent watchdog which investigated the agencies responsible for the robodebt program will be questioned by the royal commission.Â
Two people wrongfully targeted by the botched robodebt scheme have described difficulties in trying to get more information from Centrelink about the money they supposedly owed.Â
The decision to close the Braddon Centrelink shopfront in December and merge it with the Gungahlin bureau was made five months before October’s official announcement, it was revealed in Senate Estimates hearings...
Labor MP Alicia Payne has brought out the big guns in her quest to save Braddon Centrelink from closing: former party leader and prime ministerial candidate, the Hon. Bill Shorten MP, now Shadow Minister for Civil Services and the NDIS.
The Braddon Centrelink shopfront will close in December, much to the disappointment of Labor MP Alicia Payne, Member for Canberra, who campaigned earlier in the year to keep it open.
