Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) BillContribution
We cannot allow the modern equivalent of fraud handbooks to circulate freely without consequence. If we are serious about upholding the integrity of our welfare system, we must address not only the fraudulent act itself but the ecosystem that supports and encourages it. That includes cracking down on those who seek to profit or posture by showing others how to break the law. In recent years, Parliament has rightly focused on tackling online harms. This is one such harm—one that strikes directly at the heart of public trust and the equitable distribution of resources.
