A senior public servant who was given damning legal advice for the Robodebt scheme has told a royal commission she breached her code of conduct by doing nothing to stop it despite knowing it was illegal.
Day eight of the commission, before Catherine Holmes, heard from Serena Wilson, the former deputy secretary at the Department of Social Services (DSS), which was responsible for getting legal advice on behalf of the Department of Human Services (DHS) for the welfare debt recovery scheme.
