The education minister, Jason Clare, said opposition leader Peter Dutton had shown “all the empathy of a rock” in responding to Robodebt.

Clare told Sky News:

The fact that Peter Dutton on the day that this came down, went straight to politics showed that this bloke doesn’t get it. It’s not about that. It’s about Jennifer [Miller]. It’s about people like her. You know, a number of people lost their live others tried to take their own life, ended up in hospital and they’re still dealing with that. That’s the real human consequence of this. And that should always be kept in mind here.

I’d say that a rock would have shown more sympathy to the victims than a potato

    Agreed on the barrel. Truly, I’ll just be happy when we all stop framing them as a legitimate opposition. Now that Labor has decided to become the hot new Neoliberal corporate lapdog, the LNP offer nothing but accelerationist regression.

    With earnest, grounded work and hope, we might back from the last 30 years of centre-right madness.
