Nathan, who was called by a robodebt debt collector three times a day, said his mental health plummeted. He said:

Sometimes they'd call and I'd tell them, like, 'I can't deal with this any more. I've been thinking about taking my life,' and things like that. It didn't change anything.

Why did Mr Morrison continue to pursue vulnerable Australians like Nathan when he knew his robodebt scheme was flawed and potentially invalid?
