Kathryn Campbell, a senior public servant embroiled in the robodebt scandal, has resigned from her job at the Department of Defence. 

In the aftermath of the scathing robodebt royal commission report, which exposed serious failings in the program, the Department of Defence has confirmed Campbell's resignation.

The news follows her suspension without pay from her senior advisory position with AUKUS, a move that garnered much attention.

The robodebt royal commission report pointed fingers at Campbell's department for establishing and maintaining the controversial scheme.

The report made it clear that Campbell had been aware of the use of income averaging in the program and the need for legislative changes, yet she failed to take appropriate action, ultimately leading to the scheme's illegal continuation.

Campbell's resignation comes amid mounting pressure from independent MPs and public outcry. 

Her departure signals a decisive move from the government, avoiding the spectacle of a potential sacking and addressing the public's demand for accountability.
