@lesstenny Andrews went into debt to provide infrastructure for his State, much like we do when we purchase a house, this dill is full of his own importance.

@TracyWesterman Flinders Uni, I think, did a study on the cashless welfare card.

[Comrade Shaun Newman - sewer rat @ShaunNewman2]

@gullibles @TracyWesterman An obvious comment made in ignorance of reality for people who exist on welfare.

[History Sister @SisterHistory]

@TracyWesterman Having been a victim of domestic violence I can't think of anything worse to dis-empower women than this flawed idea, which is why the cashless card has been dropped. You end up with nothing to rebuild your life. Obviously no one in government experienced violence.

@HarprvalleyPTA @TracyWesterman I'm just imagining have $15 a lot of money for a pensioner.

Despite its purported aims, the Cashless Welfare Card has not seen a decrease in crime. Police data indicates its introduction correlates with an increase in family violence in some areas. Data obtained by Australian National University researcher Elise Klein showed that “family violence-related assaults and police attendances in the East Kimberley communities of Wyndham and Kununurra rose after the card was introduced in April 2016.” Klein explained the increase by virtue of the “added factor of stress and hardship in families which may then lead to violence”.
Ceduna police data from earlier in the trial’s evaluation also showed an increase in robbery, fraud and related offences after the introduction of the Cashless Welfare Card. Similarly, domestic violence police call outs increased significantly after the introduction of the Cashless Welfare Card in the Kimberley. Another independent study conducted by Monash University, Griffith University and Queensland University involved 114 in-depth interviews in four cashless welfare sites. Interviewees reported increased tensions and fighting within households due to the additional financial pressure that the Cashless Welfare Card placed on families, and increased risk to women fleeing family violence as a result of having less available cash at their disposal.
