The public service boss responsible for the Robodebt scheme has been suspended without pay from her current $900,000 job in the Defence Department. Kathryn Campbell was the boss of Human Services back in 2015 and oversaw the rollout of the unlawful debt recovery cluster disaster. The Royal Commission was scathing of her actions – and it’s now emerged she was stood aside from her AUKUS role on 10 July – 3 days after the Royal Commission report was tabled. She had copped a lot of flak from MPs who thought it was an insult that she was still collecting the big bucks from taxpayers given the damage the scheme caused. Campbell is one of a bunch of public servants and politicians who had adverse findings against them in the Robodebt report. Note: we still don’t know who’s been named in the ‘sealed section’ or what sanctions they face…
