Among those attending the inquiry was Kath Madgwick, the mother of 22-year-old Jarrad, who died by suicide in 2019, hours after learning he owed a $2,000 Centrelink debt.
"I want to see some accountability, to see that nothing like this happens again, that there's some safeguards in there for people with mental health," Ms Madgwick said.
She said she was "appalled" to learn the department had been warned about potential legal issues in 2014, before the scheme came into effect.
The Robodebt royal commission has wrapped up for now. Here are some of the key takeaways

"What can people do to help Mastodon if they like your ideas?
I would say contribute to the Patreon for the server that your account is on. These people who are running servers, they're making it happen, and it's them who should be receiving people's support."

In the #UK it's not always sunny enough for one of these to be useful, but I've hooked mine up to a #DIY #battery pack—made of #recycled #liions—and while it's basically useless on a cloudy or rainy day, it actually provides a meaningful amount of power on a sunny day.
This would never work as a commercial product because, if these components were all brand new, it wouldn't make any economic sense.
That's the beauty of #solarpunk #diyelectronics and #recycling! It brings a whole new life to these reclaimed panels and cells!
We need to acknowledge this stuff rather than hide from it.
