    Littleproud's "buggered" and public servants involved in Robodebt get off Scott Morrison free

    Going it alone this week, Dana covers Nationals Leader David Littleproud's resignation from the top job that seems to have blindsided just about everyone. She also looks at the National Anti-Corruption Commission, which investigated 6 public servants, including former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, for their involvement in the disastrous Robodebt Scheme. Two of the six public servants have been found to have engaged in serious corrupt conduct; however, they will not be referred to face criminal charges.
