Department of Human Services officials nominated a public servant for a 2017 Australia Day achievement award to celebrate his role in designing the robodebt scheme, a royal commission has heard.
On Tuesday the commission investigating the botched Centrelink debt recovery program heard from two mid-level officials directly involved in the design of the scheme – Scott Britton, a former national manager of DHS’s compliance team, and Jason Ryman, a former director of the compliance branch, and who reported to Britton.
