Highlights
  • Prime Minister Scott Morrison apologised to Australians who financially suffered as a result of the government's failed robodebt scheme.
  • The error affected more than 300,000 people.
  • The Opposition casted doubt on the sincerity of the apology. Bill Shorten, Labor's spokesman for families and social services, says the mistake caused grief and "trauma" for those who received debt notices.
