There is a strong connection between the cattle export ban and Robodebt.
Precedent.
“Reckless” disregard of consequences has resulted in the Federal Court finding the Australian government guilty of causing financial damage to the cattle exporters affected by the decision.
Damages are yet to be determined.
The government has also admitted to being guilty of illegal action in imposing the Robodebt regime on Centrelink clients.
A class action has yet to be heard.
Court rulings and judgements are guided by many factors, one of which is precedent.
And there is now a clear precedent set in relation to the effect of government decisions on those adversely affected by them
Watch this space.
I end as always – this is my 2020 New Year Resolution:
“I will do everything in my power to enable Australia to be restored to responsible government.”
