About this episode
There’s been a delay in the release of what could be the most explosive findings from a royal commission in decades.
The commissioner of the robo-debt investigation quietly wrote to the attorney general to request a delay in the publication of its final report.
But this is no mere bureaucratic hold-up, there are other reasons behind it. And one of them has to do with when Australia’s new National Anti-Corruption Commission will be ready to receive referrals.
Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton, on how robo-debt could become one of the first topics for the brand new integrity watchdog.
