NACC won’t investigate robodebt

Earlier this year, the NACC announced it would not pursue fresh corruption investigations into six public officials involved in the Robodebt scandal.

In a statement released in June, the commission revealed it had received six referrals from Robodebt royal commissioner Catherine Holmes SC.

“The Commission is conscious of the impact of the Robodebt Scheme on individuals and the public, the seniority of the officials involved, and the need to ensure that any corruption issue is fully investigated,” it said.

“However, the conduct of the six public officials in connection with the Robodebt Scheme has already been fully explored by the Robodebt Royal Commission and extensively discussed in its final report.

“After close consideration of the evidence that was available to the Royal Commission, the Commission has concluded that it is unlikely it would obtain significant new evidence.”
