The truly disgusting, disgraceful thing about the Robodebt theft is the Liberals' arrogant, 'de haut en bas' assumption that it was ordinary, everyday Australians who were ripping off the system. But who's really been doing it ?
How about Stuart Robert with his $35,000 internet bill ? Or Dutton, Abetz and Andrews charging the taxpayer >$6000 to fly to a private Liberal Party Tony Abbott tribute dinner in Sydney ? Bronwyn Bishop's famous $6000 helicopter junket from Melbourne to Geelong, among others ?
But it's corporate Australia that's the worst. The banks and AMP gouging their customers millions for "services" that never happened. Westpac and CBA allowing drug crooks and child pornographers to launder $$$ millions overseas.
Then there's the tax dodgers like Rupert Murdoch, who pays virtually no tax in Australia. Amazon Australia: 2018 revenue $1bn, tax $20m. Santos, 4yr revenue $14.9bn, tax $3.1m. Nissan Australia 4yr revenue $9.7bn, tax just $476. Stockland, 4yr revenue $6.1bn, tax $0. And more...
Or the wage thieves who ripped off their workers for millions: Coles, Woolworths, CBA, Qantas, Dominos, Rockpool, Subway, Bunnings, 7-Eleven, Target...the list goes on and on.
But who did Morrison and the Liberals target with Robodebt ? The poor, the unemployed, the disadvantaged, the most vulnerable. Ordinary folk without the smart corporate accountants and high-priced lawyers. People who could not fight back. It's beyond sickening.
