The existing article had some ommissions and some errors, it is important to understand what the aim and outcomes were from Gillards changes.

In 1998/99 The Howard government changed the funding model for Centrelink, it was no longer fully funded through appropriations bills, instead it generated revenue based on "Bilateral Partnership Agreements" which rewarded Centrelink for the number of prosecutions it made[21]. The model required 4,000 prosecution referrals[21]. This model included having Centrelink staff and individual fraud investigators having there performance measured against prosecution referrals[22].

The new model required Centrelink staff to have improved data access, in order to proactively contact people prior to debts crystallised. This would also address a significant flaw in this existing model that was acknowledged by Centrelink and the Auditor General[22]. The flaw being a "quantity" based performance scheme treated a $100 debt the same as a complex $1,000,000 debt, thereby incentivising staff to prosecute people whose fraud was small and easier to process.

From 2009/10 to 2011/12, the Gillard Government (Labor Party) reversed the Howard Governments (Liberal Party) prosecution based revenue model for Centrelink[22]. The Gillard Government moved to a debt prevention model and focused fraud investigations onto more complex and larger frauds. The new 'debt prevention' model was immensely successful, with prosecution referrals dropping from 4,608 in 2009/10 to just 1,237 in 2010/11[23]. Significantly the 73% drop in prosecutions resulted in just a 0.0001% drop in debts being recovered[23]. The societal benefit was more important, as prosecutions result in a criminal record for the person involved, the new model is likely to have prevented 3,000 people becoming criminals.

The new model was made policy by the Gillard Government , with announcements for the investment in the updated process announced by the Minister for Human Services Tanya Plibersek and Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten. By targeting larger scale fraud, such as organised crime the changes were expected to gain "an extra $71 million to the budget"[24][25].

The new 'debt prevention' model had the added benefit of providing staff with messages of thanks from those who had avoided becoming a formal debtor[26]. The new model was successful, recovering $1149.8M in 2011–12 and $1157.6 in 2012–13[27]. The financial success could be seen as a secondary benefit, with just 1,238 prosecutions in 2012-13, the new 'debt prevention' model is likely to have prevented nearly 10,000 people from becoming criminals.

In response to your email

Hi AusPolSci. I moved your sandboxes because they were not under your username - they need to start [[User:AusPolSci/ otherwise they are "ownerless". These are all the ones I moved, you can also find them at Special:PrefixIndex/User:AusPolSci/, which lists all pages linked to your account.

Hope this helps clarify--Jac16888 ^Talk 13:03, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, thanks for that.

I had no idea I had not made them the correct way.

I greatly appreciate your prompt and easy to understand reply. AusPolSci (talk) 13:43, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
