Rick Morton: The Story of Robodebt 

Critically acclaimed writer Rick Morton builds on his two-time Walkley Award–winning coverage of the Robodebt Royal Commission in Mean Streak: A Moral Vacuum & a Multi-billion Dollar Government Shake Down.

Written like a corporate thriller but with a moving and passionate heart, Rick’s newest book documents one of the biggest failures of public administration in Australia’s history and the lies told over four and a half years to try and cover it up.

But Mean Streak is about more than the illegal Robodebt scheme and its deadly consequences, revealing some disturbing truths about the country Australia has become.

Hear Rick discuss the events and implications of this compelling tale. In conversation with Erik Jensen.
