Today DHS told the senate, that so far:

Robodebt has cost $276 million to administer.

And... Robodebt has 'recovered' $279 million.

While they can separate forecast savings for newspaper headlines, apparently it's not possible to do that with actual savings.#notmydebt pic.twitter.com/Q6M6NaY09p

DHS was asked how many robodebts are awaiting reassessment. They failed to answer. We've heard from people waiting months.

So far 652,898 reassessments have been initiated.

30,953 debts have changed in value or been wiped. That's 30,953 debt notices that were wrong.#notmydebt pic.twitter.com/LJd3WxDJV4

DHS are including 'prevented debts' in their savings from robodebt.

What happens if a company in the private sector banks a possibly avoided future liability as a cash asset?
