Grieving mum misses out on robodebt payout

Kath Madgwick can't share in the $475m robodebt payout, Commonwealth lawyers say, because her son Jarrad, 22, never got an official debt letter. He took his own life in 2019 after his MyGov welfare account showed a $1,795.85 maybe-debt. The big inquiry into the failed scheme said that scare helped push him to it. That's a tough call to defend.
