$4.3 billion dollars worth of unlawful income apportionment debts.
5.3 million unlawful debts.
Going back decades — almost all of them have been paid, so they’ll all need to be audited manually.

#Robodebt was just business as usual, and it was the tip of what is going to be a very expensive iceberg.

This is information obtained under a FOI request made by someone who goes by “MK” on @oaf’s Right To Know portal — a really valuable resource for anyone who wants to know more about anything any level of govt is getting up to.

If you want to know what Indue are up to, go after them — you’re no less qualified than I am!
I fell into coordinating #NotMyDebt at the end of late 2016, and stuck it out until 2020 because I’m stubourn. That’s really the main thing you need.
@oaf
These are things that happen because people get off their arses and do something.
Accountability instruments like a NACC are… fine… I suppose, but the best accountability is an engaged citizenry.

Someone better and more qualified is not coming to save us.
Anytime you think “someone should do something”?
You’re someone.
Do something.
