7 UNIDENTIFIED PEOPLE MAY FACE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION
One of the outcomes from the Robodebt Royal Commission is a secret chapter that recommends civil action or criminal prosecutions. Years overdue, and far too lateb for deceased victims, but better late than never.

Below are extracts from the report:
“I have provided to you an additional chapter of the report which has not been included in the bound report and is sealed. It recommends the referral of individuals for civil action or criminal prosecution.
I recommend that this additional chapter remain sealed and not be tabled with the rest of the report so as not to prejudice the conduct of any future civil action or criminal prosecution.”
[REMEMBER THIS?]
THIS WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL and A MAJOR CRIME

Recommendation 10.1:
“Design policies and processes with emphasis on the people they are meant to serve Services Australia design its policies and processes with a primary emphasis on the recipients it is meant to serve. That should entail:
• avoiding language and conduct which reinforces feelings of stigma and shame associated with the receipt of government support when it is needed
• facilitating easy and efficient engagement with options of online, in person and telephone communication which is sensitive to the particular circumstances of the customer cohort, including itinerant lifestyles, lack of access to technology, lack of digital literacy and the particular difficulties rural and remote living
• explaining processes in clear terms and plain language in communication to customers, and acting with sensitivity to financial and other forms of stress experienced by the customer cohort and taking all practicable steps to avoid the possibility that interactions with the government might exacerbate those
stresses or introduce new ones.“
Keep in mind that the above recommendations were some of the reasons why the Ronald’s space posting was set up in February 2010.
Since then, millions of people have been harmed and thousands have died, so the fix is in when it comes to holding hundreds of politicians and public offcials accountable.
