Reply to comment by kahrismatic in 'Shut this story down': Government released Robodebt victims' personal details to deter them from speaking out by Returnofthejedinak

Such absolute horseshit. The human impact is incalculable, but it's almost certain that will play no role in the outcome here. How many royal commissions have we seen with zero consequences for the participants? I'm sorry you had to waste so much of your life dealing with people worth less than the value of the minerals in their body

Thanks. It still just blows my mind that even governmental records weren't considered good enough in terms of proof. I realise it was a federal policy and I worked for the state government, but if even governmental records weren't considered good enough what chance did most people have of being able to gather sufficient proof. I realise it's just more bad faith on top of bad faith, but it was absolutely set up so that people had no chance.

It's telling that we are concerned about how someone else might or might not be able to handle the process. Randoms on the internet show more compassion and empathy than well remunerated **public servants **
