The Robodebt Royal Commission

[peetoo]

NACC shouldn't exist if it's going to dog its remit by ignoring robodebt

Anti-corruption bodies exist to focus lights into dark corners and flush out the rats.

From your friendly local ‘Christian’ Kabul. Funny enough the CEO during the UK post office debacle was a part time Anglican vicar too. Sure know how to spin a fairy story while whipper snipping all the mushrooms

Surely the finding of the inquiry must be that the NACC don't actually know what their job is.

They are doing exactly what the ALP intended - create the impression they will investigate and do something but under no circumstances actually do anything to pollies or senior Canberracrats. I am sure eventually some junior staff will cop it so they can say look what we can do.

Basically we were promised one like the NSW one and got the equivalent of Dodgy Dan's neutered Victoria one. Not much better than Scomos never have one but a lot more pricey.

An inquiry into an inquiry.

Yes minister Humprey would be proud

For those unaware of who Gail Furness is she was the chief head kicker at the CSA Royal Commission. Her role now is to investigate whether the NACC followed its procedures with regard to the Robodebt referrals.

It will prove one of two things - the NACC is a neutered organisation or that they pulled up on their own.

Just in case you were wondering if the current government has actually learned anything

Also Shorten is teaming up with Hanson to try and push through changes that Labor's own parliamentary committee flagged as containing possible human rights breaches

Labor-led committee raises human rights concerns over NDIS bill as Shorten blasts delays

Minister says more consultation with states would be a ‘circle-jerk’ after Coalition and Greens team up to delay vote on NDIS reforms until late August

but don't worry Robodebt is in the bin.....

Yet further evidence that the only purpose of a royal commission is to get the public to think the problems are fixed



ATO automatically raising false debts due to bugs in their systems

What do they do? Keep raising them and lying to everybody

Heaps of good candidates to lead it but honestly if the framework surrounding it is compromised it doesn’t matter who’s in charge - nothing is going to happen

when they made it private they were basically saying they don't think transparency is part of anti corruption

which is a massive shame because transparency is a cornerstone of anti-corruption.
Corruption happens in the dark.

It's the most perverse aspect of our system of govt...that politicians get to decide to what extent they are accountable.

If there was a plebiscite on the accountability of members of parliament the vote in favour of a NACC with real teeth would be 90%+.

they dont like giving them teeth because every time they do the person who did ends up getting done for corruption

that's how widespread it is

 

[Not Important]

How do the results of the Robodebt scandal point to anything else other than a loss of public trust? And what fatuous reasons was the Australian public supplied with to excuse the NACC’s gobsmacking decision not to pursue one of the greatest failures of public administration in our history? Apparently the NACC (yes the anti-corruption one) has decided instead to focus on “lessons learnt”.

This is weasel-wording, vacuous buck-passing of the highest order. “Lessons learnt?” What lessons exactly? Why wasn’t the public told what these grandiose lessons are? What measures are now in place to monitor if the “lessons” are heeded? Who is doing the teaching? And who are the people who’ve learnt the alleged lessons?

All quiet on the Corruption Commission front... - The Shot

All the overt corruption going without punishment isn't the greatest look for the new NACC. In fact, it's totally suss.
