from the article:

For weeks now, Centrelink has been sending out thousands of debt notices to current and former welfare recipients.

It's part of an effort to claw back about $4 billion in welfare debt.

But many of the recipients say the new automated system is asking them to pay debts they don't owe.

Minister for Social Services, Christian Porter, denies there is an issue with Centrelink's automated system.
