The government has officially confirmed that the Cashless Debit Card program will end. This outcome reflects the persistence of everyone who questioned the fairness of these trials. While this chapter concludes we must remain attentive to ensure the transition away from this system remains accountable to those it impacted.

Reaching this current level of momentum confirms that the concerns regarding the cashless system are deeply felt across the country. It is encouraging to see this steady growth in our collective resolve to ensure dignity in financial autonomy. This level of public attention indicates that the government cannot ignore the push for a return to fair and equitable policy.

This card will only create an underground bartering network amongst people who are at the moment being responsible and lawfully managing their finances. This card labels all recipients incompetent and unable to make healthy choices. It is demoralising and dehumanisng.

The indue card is degrading, demeaning and will not stop people from gambling or drinking. It will cost approximately $10,000 per card to administer, money that could be better spent on providing support for the very people it is choosing to punish! Get rid of this card!

I am against any system which robs people of autonomy. Furthermore, I think substance abuse can only be addressed as a mental health issue. Controlling income is not the answer, it does not address the root of the problem.

This is crazy what are single parents supposed to do with their children's activities and how they pay for such things! This government is disgraceful. They are assuming that all centrelink recipients are doing drugs, smoking or drinking. Some of us spend it on our Children!!

The card costs a household like mine $4000/yr in lost interest, bonus points and discounts. Helping a minority by financially crippling the majority. My kids deserve protection too - protection from the card.

PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE PETITION TO BAN DIGITAL/VACCINE PASSPORTS IN OUR COUNTRY Experimental vaccines being pushed onto the community to enforce Vaccine Passports is unethical and dangerous. What these tyrannical Chinese style digital passports are designed to do is take away your rights, voice and any freedoms you have. They will include a digital ID wallet and platform that will hold all official ID's and you can be turned on and off at a flick of the wrist. Stand with me and say NO to medical apartheid. https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN2794 Watch The Hon Craig Kelly MP explain it on the floor of parliament, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J9XMLNfrXM
