	Description:		After nine weeks of hearings involving 115 witnesses, the robo-debt royal commission report was published last week. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Commissioner Catherine Holmes did not hold back in her assessment of the failings of former government ministers and senior public servants who implemented a scheme to claw back $1.7 billion from more than 500,000 welfare recipients. The Prime Minister said this report exposed the human tragedy of the scheme, and the government would work through the more than 50 recommendations. Today, federal political reporters Lisa Visentin and Angus Thompson on the robo-debt royal commission, and what happens next as the fallout from the controversial government program continues.
