Labor has always been very clear that there is nothing wrong with requiring income support debts to be repaid, as long as those debts are genuine. Let's be very clear: this is a stunt by the Greens political party. It's nothing but symbolic. Nothing in the motion being debated today will address the huge issues the government has created through its lazy robodebt scam. If the Greens political party really wanted to do something to address unfair Centrelink debts then this is what they would be focusing on. This is our focus, so we will oppose the motion today and continue to concentrate on proper policy developments to address inequality in Australia.
