This week, Rick Morton won the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards for his book Mean Streak. It’s a huge achievement and we are thrilled for him.
This book was the culmination of years of reporting on Robodebt – a government scheme that destroyed lives.
At 7am, we were lucky enough to work with Rick on a series, which we published in 2023, about how Robodebt was allowed to happen.
And there’s one episode from that series that we still think about all the time – about a woman who saw what was happening and called it out.
We hope you read Rick’s important book Mean Streak – and we hope you enjoy this episode from our series Inside Robodebt.
