Tried to find addressing Robodebt.
Google returns nothing obvious - except its AI result says there is Murray using it to attack Labor.
And Bing returns nothing obvious either.

This is looking like the end of the internet being an accessible resource for the public.

Will give Mojeek a run. (Mojeek and Listening Wind and Bondi massacre - this is all getting ridiculous.)

Outcome: Nah nothing obvious. Appears that Paul Murray has never addressed Robodebt in now accessible print.

The fruit of politicizing the Bondi massacre:

The West Australian is using it to try and undermine A. Albanese. A new RWNJ variant to test out and evolve?

But will "less votes for A.A." = "more votes for Liberals"?

Could be more divisiveness will strengthen Greens and RWNJ parties.

Who's got quotes of Paul Murray addressing Robodebt (apparently associated with 2000 deaths)?

Big red cross-out over pic of left page in a two page spread.
Visible page headlines and bylines read:
Paul Murray
Why Albanese cannot
With his character sullied, rat-cunning PM will stonewall over the Bondi massacre, knowing a proper inquiry could permanently damage his standing.

Further inserted quote byline reads " ... vital that Robodebt victims and the broader Australian public know the truth ..."
Anthony Albaneses calling for a Royal Commission in 2022

Content of article continues in same vein.

The Bee Sting by Paul Murray is a gripping, immersive book, but a bit too violent in parts for my taste. Here is my #review app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/

This is a great book full of technical fireworks. An incredibly easy read for how much Paul Murray stuffs into it. #BookReview #paulmurray #bookerprize

"People imagined poems were wispy things, she said, frilly things, like lace doilies. But in fact they were like claws, like the metal spikes mountaineers use to find purchase on the sheer face of a glacier."

—Paul Murray, The Bee Sting

I also appreciate Murray's book dealing with climate breakdown, which clearly looms large in his mind. He tackles it from different angles, through various devices, with an appropriate degree of seriousness, specificity, and overwhelm.

I wish more fiction writers did this, or even tried it; gave us stories that help process what we're facing instead of pretending it's not happening.

This family epic contrives a couple of turns that didn't work for me, but it's a great read, tense and rewarding and with characters you quickly come to care about.

Often when a novel alternates POVs, you resent some for interrupting your favourites, but here you're eager to catch up with everyone.

'The Bee Sting' by Paul Murray. Cover is yellow with a thick, mazy black line winding among the lettering, tracing the path of a bee which is illustrated in the top right. The book title is in red, the 'i' of 'Sting' sharp-ended to resemble a sting. There's a small blurb from the Observer: 'A thing of beauty, a novel that will fill your heart'.
