Which controversial scheme did Albanese's government establish a royal commission into?

  • Robodebt Scheme

  • School funding scheme

  • Hospital funding scheme

  • Transport funding scheme

Answer

Albanese’s government established a royal commission into the Robodebt scheme, a controversial program under which the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) used algorithms to issue automated debt notices to welfare recipients. The program was found to have been deeply flawed, with many recipients receiving incorrect or inflated debts. The royal commission is expected to investigate the scheme’s design, implementation, and impact, and to make recommendations for reform.
