The legality of the system designed to penalise jobseekers has been thrown into doubt after the commonwealth ombudsman found a government department’s automatic system unlawfully cancelled payments.
The ombudsman has found 964 jobseekers had their payments unlawfully cancelled between April 2022 and July 2024 by the automated IT system that underpins the targeted compliance framework (TCF) system.

I find it amazing that the Nation that had the RoboDebt Scam is still using any AI bullshit to analyse citizens finances.
I grew up with a guy who eventually became a welfare cheat. He was eventually given a job for Centrelink as a Loss Management Assessor, a-la Frank Abignale.
The government needs more analysts like him, not some faceless algorithm.
