The Australian Public Service Commissioner released its report on the #Robodebt Inquiry. For a scheme that unlawfully hounded people for money they did not owe over several years, it’s shameful that little accountability has come to pass.

NARO and National Shelter's great report on renter reforms aligns with everything we've found in our own work: the government has not gone far enough to make sure renters have safe, healthy, affordable homes. We need to make sure renters are heard and legally protected.
Renters in Australia continue to face inconsistent tenancy laws and an ongoing lack of protection, says a new report out today from the National Association of Renters’ Organisations (NARO) and National Shelter.

This needs to stop.
