Last week, on 22 March, the member for Fadden claimed to have been misrepresented by me in question time, where I quoted royal commission evidence by Kath Madgwick that her son, Jarrad Madgwick, took his own life hours after receiving a robodebt notice. Specifically, the member for Fadden said, 'It was not a robodebt; it was not part of the robodebt cohort.' Today I set the record straight.
