| Government Services Minister Stuart Robert has defended the government's handling of its controversial welfare debt recovery system after internal emails revealed the Department of Social Services was told the so-called 'robodebt' scheme was illegal.
The emails between senior bureaucrats, released to a Senate inquiry on Thursday, reveal discussions from late November on the day the system was scaled back and show the Australian Taxation Office advised the department the scheme was "unlawful".
