Not satisfactory at all: Geoffrey Watson on the NACC'S Robodebt findings

from Late Night Live - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

"I don't feel like it's satisfactory at all." Geoffrey Watson SC, has compared the sealed section of the Holmes Royal Commission into Robodebt with the recent findings by the National Anti-Corruption Commission. The NACC found two senior public servants engaged in serious corrupt conduct, but cleared former prime minister Scott Morrison and three other public servants, including former secretary of the Department of Human Services, Kathryn Campbell. Watson says it was clear from both the NACC and the Royal Commission reports that there was a culture of fear in the public service of consequences for not agreeing with directions from superiors.Guest: Geoffrey Watson SC, Director of the Centre for Public Integrity, Senior Counsel at New ChambersProducers: Catherine Zengerer/ David Marr
