My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Government Services, Senator Ruston. Internal Centrelink documents show that the government ignored warnings to Services Australia as early as March 2016 of 'a major risk that automated Centrelink robodebts could be inaccurate'. Throughout 2017, the government ignored warnings when the Administrative Appeals Tribunal repeatedly found that the basis on which robodebts were calculated was wrong and unlawful. On what date did the government first become aware that its robodebt scheme was illegal?
