A Queensland mother whose son took his own life just hours after learning he owed a Centrelink debt says she hopes the Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme will bring about justice and accountability for victims.
"We need to know who is responsible for this and people need to be held accountable," Kath Madgwick said before the first hearing of the royal commission got underway in Brisbane.
Her son, Jarrad Madgwick, was suffering mental health issues when he discovered he owed a debt of just under $2,000.
