After the axing of the illegal robo-debt scheme, there were promises of reform in the welfare system to make it lawful, fair and transparent.
It’s since been revealed that the same type of bad maths that underpinned robo-debt has been used elsewhere at Centrelink.
More than 100,000 welfare recipients have been affected, with some even facing prosecution for inaccurate debts.

Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton on why Services Australia can’t get welfare right.
