There is no proof more than 2000 people died as a result of "Robodebt". The 2022 Royal Commission heard testimony from those who believed the scheme had played a role in two deaths. It was acknowledged however that both individuals had pre-existing mental health problems. https://www.rmit.edu.au/news/factlab-meta/robodebt-not-directly-responsible-for-more-than-2000-deaths https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6859247/i-do-not-accept-that-campbell-denies-robodebt-death-claims/

Original Tweet

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/1097348819098824704

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.
