Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison has defended his role in overseeing the Robodebt scheme, rejecting findings from a royal commission.

In his first in-person comments since the release of the royal commission’s report, Mr. Morrison said the findings against him were “disproportionate, wrong, and unsubstantiated.”
