About this episode
Rhys Cauzzo was one of hundreds of thousands of Australians who received unlawful and false debt notices under robodebt.
The 28 year old died by suicide in January of 2017, as debt collectors pursued him for $17,000 dollars.
After his death, his mother Jenny began to unravel just how many debt notices Rhys had received, and she decided to go public – speaking to The Saturday Paper about what happened to her son.
Now, she’s given evidence to the royal commission into robo-debt – and the hearings have exposed more details about how senior government figures reacted to reports of her son’s death.
Today, Jenny Miller, on her son Rhys and her search for the truth.
