The data we have on this tends to support what I have suspected since the Royal Commission hearings: DHS/Services Australia have been issuing a very substantial number of unlawful debts, for decades. This could be as many as 40% of all debts, according to Dr. O'Donovan.
Darren O'Donovan has published this analysis of the unlawful apportionment debts that were revealed following the #RobodebtRC. 'In short, Centrelink employment income debts have been incorrectly calculated, at scale, for a generation.' open.substack.com/pub/welfare/p/…
It is paramount that @billshortenmp and @AmandaRishworth give IMMEDIATE public statements on this issue, and outline a clear plan of action to the public. They have full knowledge of this situation, and they MUST answer to the many thousands of people potentially impacted.
If 40% of ALL employment income debts have been unlawfully calculated by Centrelink, for 20 YEARS, the Government is completely exposed. These debts MUST ALL be cancelled & refunded, recovery action paused. There MUST be a full inquiry into ALL aspects of welfare debt recovery.

This guy was just standing there tapping his sign. He had family members who got a #robodebt #DunkleyVotes
Not #robodebt, just a light bit of “unlawful income apportionment” 🙄 Centrelink should consider waiving 100,000 debts that may be unlawful, ombudsman report finds theguardian.com/australia-news…
Who has been fired over Robodebt? @AlboMP @billshortenmp @SenKatyG? Have you fired a single person? #RobodebtRC

@ServicesGovAU Either you (& CDPP) had enough incriminating pay/employer, bank & ATO evidence to raise the debts & pursue your prosecution targets in the first instance or abominable miscarriages of justice have been perpetrated. #RoboDebt #Apportionment x.com/NotmydebtS/sta…

Hi @ServicesGovAU Where do you get off, scripting such a gaslighting response to someone against whom you have secured a conviction: "nothing has been coded into the system Without the payslips and bank details I won't have grounds to review or proof"!? #RoboDebt #Apportionment
URGENT REMINDER Centrelink auto-culls online letters after exactly 2 years - so save a copy of your Nov-2021 #RoboDebt Class Action category notice ASAP!
@joshgnosis To do this now, after the Robodebt RC, gives the impression ATO were waiting to see the fine line between immorality and prosecutable illegality of sending threatening debt letters to often-already vulnerable people with claims they can't easily contest.
My mum got one of these letters for something 15 years ago...no one has records going back that far...the banks certainly don't. It's robodebt-esque. theguardian.com/australia-news…
Honoured to have been invited to talk #robodebt and strategy with our friends @AntiPovertyN_SA at their conference tomorrow! They were so generous with time and advice in the early days of the campaign, and @PasForg’s wisdom has been a rock.

@joshgnosis If they can't pick up on the discrepancy in the first few years, 5 years being the length of time we're expected to keep record, they shouldn't be allowed to chase it after that

@gerardthomas_1 @billshortenmp @ACOSS @not_my_debt So they are talking the talk but the question is will they walk the walk or be found wanting as is the case so often these days
@GrisStephan @not_my_debt 180 people a month are leaving Services Australia currently, so at this rate 3000 new hires should be returned to current staffing levels by the next election.
@LezBeFranc @billshortenmp I was making and continue to make very serious criticisms of the ALP, but sure.
@LezBeFranc @billshortenmp ... that will still sit with many today; nor was anything done to rectify the fact that many would have been sentenced to community service of custodial terms, and will have served that time without having committed any offences.
@LezBeFranc @billshortenmp ... to be ineffective in the case of Keating (Cth), where now Fed Crt's Chief Justice Mortimer argued, successfully, that the legislation could not be used to render accuseds guilty where no law made their actions offences at time. Nothing was done to remedy the convictions ...
@LezBeFranc @billshortenmp ... in the soc sec legislation identified by the High Court in Poniatowska; it said that it was not a crime to omit to report income, despite the fact that thousands had been prosecute for that very putative crime. That curative legislation was subsequently found ...
@LezBeFranc @billshortenmp That specific assertion is not consistent with the RC Report; however, the ALP presided over the conviction of thousands of welfare recipients whose convictions are likely to be unlawful; indeed, in 2011, the then ALP govt introduced legislation to gap-fill a hole ...
@maximumwelfare Except in cabinet discussions where we specifically ask that there be no process for documenting decision making
@maximumwelfare Government debt recovery should not extend beyond the legal requirement to keep tax records, five years from the lodgment date of your personal tax return. If gov needs more staff to meet this timeline they should employ them. Two birds one stone.
@mrn487 The former Chief Justice of the QLD Supreme Court says: 'There is no reason that current and former social security recipients should be on any different footing from other debtors'. It is right there in that passage if you would care to read it.
@dph_88 One of the worst things I learned in covering the Royal Commission is how many of the departmental secretaries involved were appointed during Rudd/Gillard.
@SquigglyRick Has he been offered a job at PwC?
@YetClown @Firedingo 2000 people didn’t kill themselves. This bit of misinformation matters because we really need to stop implying that people’s distress only matters if they do something drastic.
