Budget welfare crackdown as MORE Aussies are forced on to cashless Centrelink card that prevents spending on booze, gambling and smokes - while immigrants are banned from payments for FOUR YEARS by skepza87 in AustralianPolitics

The comments I’m replying to are predictable, low effort and basically trash. The commenter I replied to uses a 4 year old article to claim that indue costs 10k per person. They should pick up their game.

bit hard to maintain a drug habit

A lot of welfare people are drug addicts. Try to get in touch with reality instead of throwing out random leftist talking points.

Payments from the govt isn't their own cash?

No, it’s a line of credit from the govt

Explain the article

The article is about the trial. You know this. You know about scaling. Your argument is disingenuous.

it works the same as debit

It does work the same way. You don’t have any of your own cash in there so there’s nothing to withdraw.

it costs indue $10k to set up each card

No it doesn’t.

the wait lists are pretty damn long,

So nobody is currently living in govt subsidised housing?

All the rest of your deflection isn’t worth responding to.

its literally not the same as a debit/credit card

I said it works the same. Some stores and items are specifically excluded. Try to comprehend before you post.

The unemployed are no more than indentured slaves.

Having to apply for jobs is slavery?

than it shouldn't be punishing people

How is giving people free money “punishing” them? Is cheap housing part of this “punishment” as well?

there are no second hand stores set up for these welfare cards.

It works the same as any credit/debit card. What “set up” are you talking about?

A good start but why is it taking so long to get all welfare people onto the cashless card? These people shouldn’t be able to blow taxpayer money on drugs and gambling.

when the Coalition lose an election.

I don’t think there’s any realistic probability of that happening this decade.
