A bill to make the card permanent, despite there being no evidence for its success, is now before parliament
another robodebt-like fiasco may be on the horizon – this time involving the cashless debit card. A bill to make the card permanent, despite there being no evidence of its success, is before parliament. If passed, it will transfer about 25,000 people in the Northern Territory and Cape York who are on the basics card (an earlier version of income management) on to the cashless debit card.
