Davidh from Seaford was issued a robodebt variously calculated at $3,800, $4,088, $1,370 and $1,500 before being reduced to zero. Davidh says:
I think I could have been one of the people who died because of this. They nearly cost me my life.
When the government was told in a department brief on 1 March 2017 that a third of robodebts had been reassessed and reduced to zero dollars, why did Mr Morrison insist on putting the lives of thousands of people like Davidh at risk?
