NACC's new report finds that two of the Robodebt Six engaged in serious corrupt conduct www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Morrison one of the six referred to anti-corruption commission
Sarah Basford Canales
Sarah Basford Canales
Former prime minister, Scott Morrison, was one of the six people robodebt royal commissioner, Catherine Holmes, referred to the National Anti-Corruption Commission.

The final report, released this morning, found two officials – Mark Withnell and Serena Wilson – had engaged in serious corrupt conduct.

The report found the other four, however, did not. The other four names referred to the Nacc included Morrison, Kathryn Campbell, Annette Musolino and Catherine Halbert.

Morrison’s failure to realise the bureaucratic advice was misleading, the report found, was due to both the social services and human services departments failing to advise him and other ministers that new laws were needed.

Campbell was one of two named by the Australia Public Service Commission in 2024 after it found 12 public servants, including Campbell and former department head Renée Leon, breached the code of conduct 97 times during their involvement in the robodebt program.

Guest Post: They Canceled Our Anti-Eugenics Talk. The Censorship Proved Our Point.
by Ambreen Khan, Kim Zayhowski, Robert Resta, and Laura Hercher This piece is our team’s account of censorship and threats from members of the genetic counseling community. It is both testimony and a demand that our profession do better. We were twice scheduled to present a webinar on the threat of modern eugenics – only for both events to be canceled after anonymous complaints and undisclosed claims about threats and safety.
