ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Is the cashless debit card working? | 7.30” – below is their description.
It’s been two years since thousands of welfare recipients in a Queensland community were placed on a controversial trial scheme to control their spending. The cashless debit card quarantines 80 per cent of the welfare payment to ensure the money isn’t spent on drugs, alcohol or gambling.
Peter McCutcheon takes a look at the evidence about whether the card is working or not.
