@sunny coast; Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton will find Peter Hartcher's article in today's Age very confronting. He concluded it with the excerpt below:

"... Robo-debt was an example of overpoliticisation, where a minister wanted to use performative cruelty against welfare recipients to burnish his political credentials and cared not about the rights of citizens.
It was an example of extended abuse of power to cover up a political failure. It was an example of possible consequences of automated systems, unchecked by human intervention, operating against citizens. It’s a case study in how checks and balances can fail – even in a democracy – in a system with weak civil service officials and unscrupulous ministers. ..."
