Robodebt explained: Does the Government owe you money?

Robodebt is the story the government didn’t want you to hear about, but last week it admitted defeat and agreed to refund thousands of Aussies it sent flawed demands to as part of its controversial robodebt recovery scheme. We speak to Joel Townsend - Program Manager of Economic and Social Rights at Victorian Legal Aid, which has been acting on behalf of people dudded by robodebt and Emma - a student who received a $9k robodebt bill.
