Robodebt saw more than 526,000 people told they had Centrelink debts, even though it simply wasn’t true.

To unpack this piece of bureaucratic bastardry, we talk to journalist Rick Morton, who has written a book about Robodebt called Mean Streak, published by HarperCollins.

Rick is the Saturday Paper’s senior reporter. He won two Walkley Awards for his coverage of the Robodebt royal commission and he is the author of an earlier book, One Hundred Years of Dirt.

Also joining us is Solidarity member Tom Orsag, a victim of the Robodebt scandal.
