Robodebt did not cause 2000 suicides as claimed. Data from Services Australia shows that, between July 2016 and October 2018, 2,030 people who had received a Robodebt-related letter subsequently died, there is no recorded evidence that the deaths were caused by the scheme. https://www.rmit.edu.au/news/factlab-meta/robodebt-not-directly-responsible-for-more-than-2000-deaths

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1732192616438280262
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
