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

@AnxiousGnome I admit to being shocked at him claiming the government has reacted with glee. They just have not. Anything but.

He just has no bottom at all :(
