Mr Bates v Post Office part 7 - ‘The One Where The Inquiries Go Nowhere’

  • Summary

  • Post Office leadership commissioned at least 6 different investigations of varying degrees of independence and rigor into complaints about Horizon after 2010. And yet none of them got to the truth. In the next two episodes, we unpack what not to do when setting up inquiries and investigations.

    Opening grab from Mr Beer KC and Alice Perkins, former Post Office Limited Chair.

    Final grab from Mr Beer KC and Rod Ismay, Former Post Office Limited, Head of Product and Branch Accounting.

    Now for some appropriately bureaucratic disclaimers....

    While we have tried to be as thorough in our research as busy full time jobs and lives allow, we definitely don’t guarantee that we’ve got all the details right.

    If you want rigorous reporting on Robodebt, we recommend the work of Rick Morton at the Saturday Paper, Chris Knaus and Luke Henriques-Gomes at the Guardian, Ben Eltham at Crikey, Julian Bajkowski at The Mandarin, and of course, the Robodebt Royal Commission itself.

    Thanks to PanPot audio for our intro and outro music.

    'Til next time!
