Good news! Thanks for sharing it. 🙏🏻 His tenure seemed… pretty underwhelming… & if not actually “corrupt” some of his behaviour was… questionable, not to the highest standards you (we) would expect from such a position. 😐
Has he achieved anything? 🤔

Helpful data, thank you: at “Average cost to the public, $15 million per conviction” I hope the convicted are paying their conviction costs including that of their jail time. 🤔

For all of that, the NACC hit for six any idea that DHS top brass contrived to deceive on the legality of robodebt.

“The idea that DHS would put up to cabinet for approval an unformulated, uncosted plan to recover more than $1 billion of suspected overpayments of social security benefits, and intentionally misrepresent the proposal to cabinet as a fully developed, fully costed plan of recovery that had been examined and approved by all interested Commonwealth agencies (but which in truth consisted of nothing more than a vague hope that someday, somehow a way might be discovered to achieve the desired recoveries without averaging and yet within cost parameters developed on the basis of the application of automatic default averaging) is so fanciful as to be ridiculous.”

There will be a few chiefs of staff and seasoned budget types wiping up spattered coffee over that one.
