MP Stuart Robert, who claimed 'absolute responsibility' for Robodebt's implementation, to retire from politics, page-36

Look stayer, you seem to be able to read and use the Internet, why is this so difficult for you to admit?

You somehow an apologist for the LNP or for RoboDebt? (It has to be one or the other, cause even the LNP admits it was wrong now.. so which are you?)

What changed?
Robo-debt introduced two radical developments where a person did not respond, or did not provide the requested information – income averaging and reverse onus.Income averaging – the use of averaged ATO income data to calculate a debtCentrelink averaged-out the annual ATO income data over each of the fortnights between the employment start and end date recorded in the ATO income data.
That averaged amount became the input for fortnightly income for the purposes of determining the amount of any debt.


Reverse onus – the requirement that people disprove this speculative debt to avoid enforcement action

Centrelink created a reverse onus by requiring people to disprove the resulting robo-debt. Unless a person could prove the robo-debt was incorrect – for example, by providing old employment payslips or bank statements which triggered a recalculation – Centrelink would enforce the debt against them.
