Top officials and former federal ministers are bracing for findings that could send them to the new anti-corruption watchdog or result in code of conduct sanctions when the robo-debt royal commission final report is released on Friday.
Multiple witnesses to the robo-debt royal commission – which included two former prime ministers and a slew of other cabinet ministers and senior public servants – have been asked to give their final response to a long list of adverse findings.
It would be nice if there were actually consequences for running a scheme they knew was illegal and caused a huge amount of harm (for no gain), but I’m expecting some wrists to be slapped.
