The education minister, Jason Clare, said opposition leader Peter Dutton had shown “all the empathy of a rock” in responding to Robodebt.

Clare told Sky News:

The fact that Peter Dutton on the day that this came down, went straight to politics showed that this bloke doesn’t get it. It’s not about that. It’s about Jennifer [Miller]. It’s about people like her. You know, a number of people lost their live others tried to take their own life, ended up in hospital and they’re still dealing with that. That’s the real human consequence of this. And that should always be kept in mind here.

I’d say that a rock would have shown more sympathy to the victims than a potato

      Only the person you reply to gets the notification. The @s don’t seem to work at all.

      I can autocomplete a name in the PWA for Lemmy which is a markdown hyperlink which notifies. So I can @ a number of people with that method from here.

      I’ll add a screenshot of the process when I’m adding you. I click on your name to complete. I’m not sure if I can call you in with an @ from another reply. Maybe. I’ll reply to myself in another thread somewhere and see if you get it.
