Shakedown

SHAKEDOWN is the gripping true story of how a group of ordinary Australians risked it all to expose an unlawful government scheme that falsely accused half a million people of welfare fraud. An automated debt-recovery system that led to marriage breakdowns, homelessness, bankruptcies and most tragically, suicide. It tells how a courageous coalition of victims, activists, journalists, and lawyers fought back against a government and bureaucracy that refused to listen, uncovering what’s been described as 'Australia’s greatest miscarriages of justice'. Shakedown is their story.
