The Attorney-General's Department released internal correspondence from July 2023 responding to the tabling of the Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme report. Document 1 is a departmental secretary message acknowledging the Royal Commission's findings and broad implications for government operations, noting recommendations specific to the Attorney-General's portfolio concerning Commonwealth legal practice and the Australian Government Legal Service established in 2021. The Department committed to a joint taskforce led by the Prime Minister and Cabinet, AGD, and the Australian Public Service Commission to develop a government response to the Commissioner's recommendations. Document 2 is a message from the PM&C Secretary and APS Commissioner to public servants committing to work through the findings constructively. The documents are administrative correspondence rather than legal advice, reflecting institutional acknowledgment of the Royal Commission's work and preliminary commitment to engagement with its recommendations. No substantive legal positions or significant redactions are evident in the excerpts released.
