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.
I’m sure the wet lettuce is being prepared as we speak.
Australia is pathetic; we should be imprisoning these cunts for the rest of their lives; they literally harassed people to death to satiate their own ideological hubris
I know it must be hyperbole… I would just be happy with a few years in prison as a deterrent and some long community service to bring them back to reality.
If they don’t provide a deterrent then it will just be worse next time. It’s up to the commissioners or judges. One wonders if we are now at the point where they have to make an example because people have died.
Same problem with police corruption - keep giving them slaps on the wrist, it will just be worse the next time, then the time after that it will be worse again. You make your bed, you lie in it.
