Australians slapped with false Centrelink debts may be able to SUE the government for breaching their duty of care

Melbourne barrister and spokesperson for Australian Lawyers Alliance Greg Barns told Daily Mail Australia in some cases Centrelink may have breached its duty of care to customers.

[...]

'Centrelink's conduct has been so appalling in some cases… there may be a cause for legal action for those who have been disadvantaged,' Mr Barns said.

'If they [Centrelink] act in a way that's without due diligence, then they may be liable.'

The mother of a 21-year-old autistic man who claims he has been wrongly billed $3,000 for Centrelink debts says the government's new debt collecting system is 'heartless' and a form of 'financial bullying'.
