Robodebt inquiry chief Catherine Holmes concluded that social security payments should be raised in lieu of a compensation scheme. Not everyone believes it's a fair substitute.
The Robodebt inquiry's final report concluded that the rate of welfare payments should be raised.
"Because with financial security comes the dignity to which social security recipients are entitled and to which the Scheme was so damaging," she wrote. She said that while it would not be easy to establish a compensation scheme, it is the responsibility of government to "take on a complex task of ensuring that to whatever degree is possible, some form of justice is done" when "wide-scale harm" has been caused.
