Department officials involved in the unlawful robodebt scheme’s design will appear for a second time at a royal commission on Wednesday after a frontline Centrelink worker gave a searing indictment of the scheme.

The inquiry will take more evidence from former mid-level Department of Human Services officials Scott Britton and Jason Ryman, who helped devise the debt recovery scheme for the 2015 budget.
