🚨BREAKING🚨

Labor has just voted AGAINST granting super to workers under 18.

The Greens amendment would have seen all workers under 18 have the right to superannuation contributions, regardless of how many hours they worked.

Wow, Services Australia spent three quarters of a million in legal fees fighting a losing FOI fight against @daedalus.eigenmagic.com

Topic: Robodebt Case Legal Fees
Question reference number: IQ25-000016
Asked By: Senator Jacqui Lambie
Type of question: Spoken. Hansard Page/s: 9
Date set by the committee for the return of answer: 24 October 2025
Question:
Senator Lambie: Services Australia, you lost a Robodebt case against Mr Warren before the full
court. I'm just wondering what your legal costs for both Administrative Review Tribunal and the
Federal Court were? I’m gathering it's about half a million and I’m being conservative. Do you
know what the costs were?
Mr Higgins: I'd have to take that on notice, Senator. I don’t have that detail with me.
Answer:
$776,739.02 including GST (where applicable) in relation to AAT, Federal Court and ART.
