A landmark report has been handed down by the Royal Commission on Robodebt, a scheme which saw welfare recipients charged over $1.7 billion in unlawful debts between 2015 and 2019.

The head of the Robodebt Royal Commission has declared the scheme a “startling” failure and accused officials of “dishonesty and collusion” to hide its illegality.
