aussie here, former dole bludger, still know people who live off the welfare system, hide their side income, and are proud of it. There was sooooo much warning for robodebt that they all made sure their taxes were clean before the first demands went out, but a few still got through. Mostly accurate, but a few dodgy ones too. Of course, as we know, it was a dragnet and the human suffering produced was excessive. Considering the depth of the corruption, it was clear the system was incapable of correcting itself, so what else is there to do? How do you get help to the people with real need when there's so many people cheating? Robodebt was big hammer approach.
