#BillShorten has hit back at #ScottMorrison for his defence of his role in the #robodebt program.
“Mr Morrison’s version is we were all co-convenors. That wasn’t the case.
The opposition didn’t know the government was making stuff up and didn’t have lawful authority.
This bloke has more front than Myers – according to him it’s everyone’s fault but him. He blames his department, he says the real problems emerged in 2016/17 [when Morrison was no longer social services minister], he blames the opposition, he blames #ACOSS.”
Shorten said that the “people who broke the law were the Coalition government”, and noted that Labor raised issues when constituents complained they had received incorrect debts.
On Monday Morrison told the House of Representatives that while he acknowledged the “regrettable unintended consequences” of the scheme, he “completely rejects” the adverse findings against him.
