Rosemary Gay wiped away tears while telling the royal commission into the Robodebt scheme of her 'sheer terror' at receiving a debt notice for almost $65,000.

abc.net.au/news/qld-robodebt-scheme-government-royal-commission-fraud/101881472An aged pensioner who feared "losing everything" over an incorrect bill from the Robodebt scheme was forced to make repayments on the debt while she was still contesting it.

Robodebt victim Rosemary Gay said the trauma of receiving a debt notice for almost $65,000 remains with her. While fighting back tears, she said her first thoughts were of being forced to "sell her house" and "losing everything"."It just turned my life upside down and created an enormous emotional and mental strain on me."

“They therefore considered that I’d earned that figure every week from 2010 to 2016. And it also included interest," Ms Gay said."How did you feel after your conversation with God?" Counsel Assisting Douglas Freeburn asked.
