Commissioner Catherine Holmes writes persuasively in the report on the royal commission into robodebt about how things got to this point and what needs to happen next. We should focus on the 57 recommendations made in that report.

It’s validating to read a public official such as Holmes come to the same conclusions that those of us who experienced the system already knew.
