A National Anti-Corruption Commission report investigated five former public servants and former Prime Minister Scott Morrison regarding the robodebt scheme. Released Wednesday, the 445-page report examined potential corruption related to the unlawful income averaging scheme. The report found two senior public officials engaged in corrupt conduct, but the commission declined to refer them for criminal charges. Victims of the robodebt scheme, including the mother of a victim who committed suicide, expressed frustration and disappointment with the findings. They feel justice has not been served as a result of the decision not to pursue charges.
