The Greens welcome the member for Bass Bridget Archer's comments on the Cashless Debit Card and urge the senate crossbench to vote against the card in the Senate.
“The desperate pursuit of the Cashless Debit Card by this Government is rooted in ideology, not evidence”, Senator Rachel Siewert said.
I’ve been to the trial sites and am regularly in contact with people on the card, and it most certainly is causing very high levels of anxiety.
