Bonus Episode: The Robodebt Report is out - early thoughts and reflections
Jul 13, 2023 Season 1

In this special episode, Caroline and Danielle unpack their feelings about the Royal Commission Report, five days after its release.

We also pick through some of the Commissioner's key findings, as they relate to things discussed in previous episodes.

If you are new to the podcast, we suggest you start at the beginning and come to this after you've listened for a bit.

You can find Rick Morton's podcast here, and his books On Money and 100 Years of Dirt.

Intro grab features Ms Colleen Taylor, 13 December 2022

Now for some appropriately bureaucratic disclaimers....

Those of us in the employ of the State Government speak in a strictly personal capacity, consistent with the Public Sector Code of Ethics that permits public servants to promote an outcome in relation to an issue of public interest - in this case, the betterment of the public service.

Nothing we say should be taken as representing the views of the Government or our employers.

While we have tried to be as thorough in our research as busy full time jobs and lives allow, we definitely don’t guarantee that we’ve got all the details right.

If you want rigorous reporting on Robodebt, we recommend the work of Rick Morton at the Saturday Paper, Chris Knaus and Luke Henriques-Gomes at the Guardian, Ben Eltham at Crikey, Julian Bajkowski at The Mandarin, and of course, the Robodebt Royal Commission itself.

Please feel free to email us corrections, episode suggestions, or anything else, at thewestminstertraditionpod@gmail.com.

Thanks to PanPot audio for our intro and outro music.

'Til next time!
