In October 2024, HarperCollins Publishers Australia published the book “Mean Streak” written by Rick Morton. That book stated that Senator Alex Antic, prior to becoming a Senator, had worked as a senior data analyst on the PwC team that advised the Federal Government on the Robodebt Scheme. That was a mistake. Senator Antic never worked for PwC and was not involved in any way in the RoboDebt Scheme.
HarperCollins Publishers Australia apologises to Senator Antic for any hurt and distress this may have caused him.
