The "2000 lives" claim is unsubstantiated. While 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

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/1851375950048735558
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.
