Public servant who testified at robodebt royal commission sues over alleged retaliation

Jeannie-Marie Blake, a Services Australia compliance officer, was the only serving public servant to voluntarily give evidence at the robodebt royal commission. She's now in the Federal Court, alleging a senior manager warned that testifying "could cost you your job," and that she was punished afterwards. The government denies it. The royal commission examined the unlawful debt-recovery scheme; Blake's case tests whether whistleblowers face consequences for cooperating.
