My question is to the Minister for Finance and Minister for Government Services, Senator Gallagher. The former coalition government's robodebt program illegally pursued Australians for debts that they didn't owe. The chapter was the worst failure of public administration in Australia's history. The Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme made clear the devastating impact this scheme had on individuals and their families, after the former coalition government hunted them down for money that they didn't owe. Could the minister update the Senate on the settlement outcome that has been reached with the victims of robodebt today?
