Big shout out to @asherwolf.bsky.social and Lyndsey Jackson, who are also featured, for the incredible work they did on #NotMyDebt. One of the key take-aways for me from the documentary was the role of the media and activists in shining light on the inappropriate #algorithm being used.
Patreon @asherwolf.bsky.social = not a guaranteed income. Asher was not the only one involved in #NotMyDebt. Blows my mind that there wasn't an outcome of the Royal Commission of those involved getting paid *something* for what they had done, which AFAIK was voluntary. #PeopleVSRobodebt
Just finished reading Mean Streak by @squigglyrick.bsky.social Rick Morton. Altho I had some involvement in #NotMyDebt in 2017 (as a helper, not a victim), I was gobsmacked at the depths of intrigue and dishonesty involved. Some of these ppl shd be in jail now. Excellent book, must-read.
The ATO really wants to blow its own dick off with #Robodebt2 huh? Fuck those clowns. #NotMyDebt

#ANZCA17 paper on #notmydebt by @brendam, @EssiDeh, and me is next - slides here:
Positively Trumpian levels of bastardry. Tudge and Turnbull should both resign over this. #notmydebt
Tudge saying the average wait time on calls is 12 minutes might be true if only a small % of calls actually connect #notmydebt (yay ErlangB)
OK, didn't expect that to become a long ranty thread, but a decent society should WANT its taxes used to support those in need #notmydebt
