Must stop this now, if the Govt is serious on one day to close the gap, for Indigenous Australians, then on another day, continue to force more indigenous people onto their Indue card. The Govt is a joke, and not a very funny one. Election time. I'm ready.

It is wrong to infringe on peoples basic human rights and punish people who are doing the right thing.

This CDC is the unacceptable tip of a fetid iceberg of an ideological agenda of total Corporate Control and Profit. Feeding off Australia, at the expense of EVERYONE, Soc Security Recipients, Local Economies, Workers, Taxpayers alike, with all profits going into Corporate overseas tax havens.

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.

This is a cruel and inhuman way to treat those who are already doing it hard. How many people who are able to manage now will not manage once they are on this card?

This card is in effect has the capacity to bankrupt people who are at the moment being responsible and paying their bills, without proof of wrongdoing this card labels all guilty and unable to live by their own choices.

Will be using my card to pay for other peoples' stuff so I can get cash in return, will probably be lots more ways around it too. Only going to create more crime and violence if people are deprived of anything.

Stop the punitive Cashless Welfare Debit Card from destroying people’s lives.

Shame on you, this is about rent seeking, tipping the donors, not about alcohol or gambling.

This is an absolutely disgraceful way to segregate our country! Perhaps you should be placed on this card first!

we do not need this card . because not all of us are druggies or gamblers or alcoholics a lot of us pay our bills on time and try to live on what we get . we spend all our money on what is needed in order to look after our kids and some even have elderly parents that need help to and there are people with other issues as well that will not be able to cope with this cdc it will not solve the problems that it is said to solve , not all disability people abuse there payments on drugs or alcohol or gamble i would suggest that the govt.look at other ways to find those that do the wrong thing and put them on this card to help them and leave every one else alone it dose not work at all really as by your own reports so why continue with it please have some compassion for those that are doing the write thing
