The Robodebt sealed Section.

Read the article in this week's "The Saturday Paper" by Rick Morton, regarding the sealed section of the Robodebt report released by Commissioner Catherine Holmes. At the conclusion of the Royal commission enquiry she defined that a sealed section of the report was confidentiial to just five people in July last year. A simultaneous non-publication order was declared, preventing disclosure to any other persons than official investigating agencies. No doubt the commissioner had her reasons, but we the taxpayer are entitled to ask why?

Why should a Royal commision into such an egregious departmental act, found to be illegal, yet be limited in publication and release.

The fact that nobody (public servant or politician) has apparently been called before judiciary is most dissatisfying. One has to come to a conlusion that once again, our political masters have built in escape routes.

Both or all sides of parliament, seem to be impervious to correction or punitive ation. While the commissioner noted she had referred individuals to, among others the " The National Anti- Corruption Commission (NACC)" ,the NACC had controversially elected "not to commence a corruption investigation". Whatever their reasoning,we the people have to ask -WHY?

Rick Morton's article goes on to canvass a variety of issues and lack of action on this matter? He is of course right, but even our Prime Minister seems to be non-plussed. With a parliament of independents nominated and elected by their individual electorates, answerable to their electorates and sworn to behave honestly, decently, with integrity and above all non corrupt, we may eventually avhieve good government.
