Topic: Robodebt Case Legal Fees Question reference number: IQ25-000016 Asked By: Senator Jacqui Lambie Type of question: Spoken. Hansard Page/s: 9 Date set by the committee for the return of answer: 24 October 2025 Question: Senator Lambie: Services Australia, you lost a Robodebt case against Mr Warren before the full court. I'm just wondering what your legal costs for both Administrative Review Tribunal and the Federal Court were? I’m gathering it's about half a million and I’m being conservative. Do you know what the costs were? Mr Higgins: I'd have to take that on notice, Senator. I don’t have that detail with me. Answer: $776,739.02 including GST (where applicable) in relation to AAT, Federal Court and ART.

Wow, Services Australia spent three quarters of a million in legal fees fighting a losing FOI fight against @daedalus.eigenmagic.com

All this does though is let those taking the piss know that they still have x amount of time to continue behaviour y. Especially in procurement we will see these individuals continue, then quit and collect the kick backs. Defence contracts are the most egregious here so Berreton was given the gig

To get the NACC over the line they thought they need to convince current stakeholders under its purview that they will not be pursued if they clean up their act, and that this untoward behaviour is grandfathered out before the comish needs teeth.
