The Robotdebt saga is ongoing

The Editorial in this weeks " The Saturday Paper"regarding the decision by the NACC to go no further in this matter is baffling, to say the least? It appears the recently instituted "National Anti-Corruption commission has been muzzled.

After the Royal commission headed by Catherine Holmes performed an exhausting and excellent finding of the whole saga and decided to refer the names of six persons (publically unnamed ) to further investigation by the NACC.

Some 11 months after their consideration they have decided to go no further. The Commission has concluded that it is unlikely it would obtain significant new evidence.

They weren't asked to, it seems they were asked to consider the evidence already supplied. But despite the fact that "Robotdebt" was found to be illegal and great efforts were made to conceal this fact, no one is about to be punished, in any way.

Once again we have the impression that parliamentarians are impervious to corrective action. Just another example that those who become party politicians can say and do as they like. With a parliament of individual independent members, answerable at all times to their electors, these sort of practices would not occur.
