QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Ms CHANEY (Curtin) (14:43): Prime Minister, my constituents are concerned that the government is increasingly using automated tools to make decisions without proper safeguards. Nearly 1,000 Australians have had their income support payments unlawfully cancelled by an automated tool, automated aged-care support decisions are opaque and eroding trust, and more automation is expected under the NDIS changes.
We need to keep the human in our human services. Why has your government still not actioned the robodebt royal commission recommendation to legislate safeguards and oversight for automated decision-making in government?
