Former prime minister Scott Morrison is slated to appear before the royal commission into the robodebt scheme next Wednesday. Morrison’s lawyer, James Renwick SC, wants his client to be able to refer to secret cabinet documents in his upcoming testimony, even though royal commissioner Catherine Holmes has ruled that the documents cannot be released on the grounds of confidentiality. Renwick has argued that Morrison’s reputation is on the line, and that he is entitled to answer the notice from the commission in a complete fashion. Morrison was in charge of the social security portfolio when the scheme to recover overpayments to welfare recipients was developed.
