Centrelink Debt Recovery System?

I think this the wrong name for the system - it should be the 'Centrelink Debt Creation System'.

From the Governments point of view it appears to be the perfect system as it shifts the onus to the recipient to prove they are innocent. The effort to sort this all out later must have increased many times so would it not just be shifting the cost and adding to the paperwork that Centrelink has to follow up or do they just have a follow up system that says 'Computer says no'.
