About this episode
There is one story that had radiated through the witness list at the robo-debt royal commission, which profoundly altered the shape of that inquiry: the story of Rhys Cauzzo.
There were many cases like his, but Rhys Cauzzo’s experience under robo-debt sparked a fight for justice that still continues.
Rhys Cauzzo killed himself in January 2017. The public servants and ministers responsible for this illegal debt-raising scheme effectively started a PR war to smear the reputation of a dead man.
One woman, his mother, Jenny Miller, never gave up on finding the truth about what happened to her son.
