Exclusive: Robodebt architect remains employed in a senior governance role in the public service
Scott Britton was a national manager of the customer compliance branch in the Department of Human Services and signed a June 2014 minute that first detailed how robodebt would work.
From me: The architect of the Robodebt scheme, who was told it was unlawful even as he delivered it for the government, is still employed in the public service, now at the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. And in a senior governance and risk role. www.crikey.com.au/2026/02/20/r...

So in Claremore, OK people are being arrested for speaking out against AI data centers and meanwhile no one is being arrested for being in the Epstein files. The elite and ultra-rich seem to be above the law under this administration. We truly are living in the upside down.π€¦π€·

Sydney police to be investigated by watchdog after anti-Herzog protest violence
Videos emerged of police appearing to punch protesters at rally against Israeli president on Monday.
Not since the Joh era last century has Queensland experienced anything like the recent scenes on Sydney streets. Not even during the multiple Newman government protests 2012-2015 did the Queensland police act in such a way. #qldpol www.bbc.com/news/article...

What a mess leadership has weaved for itself. They must stay on Trumpβs side or lose trade, Aukus cash and connection to five eyes material. So they now cannot make independent sovereign decisions. Iβm sure many in Cabinet must hate whatβs going on in Israel but trump must be appeased. #auspol

The Greens warned the hate laws were biased and would target the wrong people. It took less than a month for police to raid Dissent Bar and prove every concern right. Laws supposedly about antisemitism are being used against anti-fascists.
