Labor has called upon the federal government to scrap the Centrelink's robodebt program.

Labor spokesman Bill Shorten said in a statement that the program is "harsh and unfair."

The ABC's 7.30 on Monday night highlighted a story where the family of a dead disability pensioner received a call from the Centrelink for retrieving a debt of $7000.
