Listen "Robodebt and PWC"
Episode Synopsis
With the Royal Commission Report on Robodebt being handed down a little over a week ago the parallels with the PWC scandal are prompting many to question the entire governance and administration of Australia's welfare and taxation systems. In this episode Deb Smith and Mike Holland - - who have been reporting on Robodebt and PWC respectively - discuss some of the interesting similarities between the two rorts, and their wider implications for outsourcing the public service, the use of consultants and government ethical standards.
