Between 2015 and 2020, the Australian government billed hundreds of thousands of its own citizens for welfare debts it could not prove they owed, sending automated demand letters that no person had checked before they went out.

A Royal Commission examined the scheme and delivered its final report on 7 July 2023. Per that report, Commissioner Catherine Holmes found it had been devised without regard to the social security law, and that averaging a year's income across each fortnight was essentially unfair, treating many people as though they had received income at a time when they had not. The Commission's own words are the ones to keep: Robodebt was a crude and cruel mechanism, neither fair nor legal, and it made many people feel like criminals. The arithmetic was never the flaw. It ran exactly as written, at scale, on schedule. What went missing was the caseworker who used to verify a debt before the letter went out, not a task, a gate.
