My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Government Services, Senator Farrell. During the winter recess, Commissioner Holmes handed down the final report of the Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme, which highlighted that for 4½ years the former Liberal-National government pursued its unlawful robodebt scheme. It was a time when some of the most vulnerable Australians must have felt that their government, with the Liberals and the Nationals at the reins, had abandoned them. Can the minister update the Senate about what the report found on the design, implementation and operation of the former Liberal government's cruel scheme?
