Thank you @AusJPolSci for this honour. Our paper 'Is Conditional Welfare an Effective Means for Reducing Alcohol and Drug Abuse?' (led by Philip Mendes @Monash_SocialWk) has won the annual Mayer Journal Article Prize for the best article published in the journal in 2021 @AusPSA

Yesterday, colleagues @GregMarston8, Philip Mendes & Shelley Bielefeld presented evidence from our @CIM_Study research on the #BasicsCard & the #CashlessDebitCard to the Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee.

Read their testimonies here: https://t.co/6XbquGdFkd

[Janet Rice @janet_rice]

Professor Greg Marston says at the senate hearing on Labor's proposed legislation that will remove the Cashless Debit Card, but could leave people in the NT on the BasicsCard:

The design principle that is problematic on the CDC is the same as the BasicsCard - both cause problems

[Janet Rice @janet_rice]

At the Senate inquiry hearing, Dr Bielefeld says she has "grave concerns about people in the NT going back on the mandatory BasicsCard which is just as unjust as the Cashless Debit Card. People want autonomy and control over their lives."

The latest article from our @CIM_Study is out in Critical Social Policy. We show that Money Management (NZ's version of the #CDC) does not build financial capability as claimed. Rather, it can be counterproductive in this respect https://t.co/iJqT5fsqck @GregMarston8 @Zoettes

[Policy Press @policypress]

Drawing on first-hand accounts from those living under the systems, this book explores the impact of #Australia and #NZ income management policies and asks whether they have caused more harm than good. #Income @Zoettes @MichPeterie

Apparently book selfies are a thing?
This is the best I could do… the book speaks for itself — #cashlesswelfare does more harm than good.

(My daughter’s 🌈 in the background speaks of new horizons with #Labor’s commitment to abolish the #CDC 👏 ) ⁩ ⁦@CIM_Study⁩ ⁦

The book from our study - Compulsory Income Management in Australia and New Zealand: More Harm than Good - comes out this month!

Available at https://t.co/wJ3r1KNTUE

[Dr Michelle Peterie @MichPeterie]

Exciting delivery in the mail today! The timing of this book - coming out just as Australia moves to abandon its wildly unsuccessful experiment in welfare quarantining - feels particularly sweet.

Launch details to come.

#PovertyIndustry at work in Aus 👉
Indue Pty Ltd total contract expenditure for the #CashlessDebitCard, at Feb '22, was $63.26M.

Yet, lifting those on JobSeeker above the #povertyline is unaffordable? 🤔

COMING SOON: Compulsory Income Management in Australia and New Zealand: More Harm than Good? By Greg Marston, Louise Humpage, @MichPeterie, Philip Mendes, Shelley Bielefeld and @Zoettes

Details and pre-order: https://t.co/wJ3r1KvKGw

Our @CIM_Study findings are reported in the Australian today

“Child welfare issues are ­nuanced & multi-factorial, & frequently exist in a broader context of … disadvantage [...] Crude coercive measures like CIM are woefully ill-equipped to address them" https://t.co/SHTEyFth7J

[Compulsory Income Management Study @CIM_Study]

Our research is discussed in the Australian today @StevenHWRoche @MichPeterie @Zoettes

We found that welfare quarantining has "limited verifiable effectiveness in enhancing child wellbeing and reducing children’s exposure to harm"

https://t.co/AgxsGVFEjO

[Dr Michelle Peterie @MichPeterie]

Gratifying to see two of our @CIM_Study publications discussed in this Select Committee report

The Committee's first recommendation is that the Gov of SA consider "requesting the Government of Australia wind-up the #CashlessDebitCard scheme in the #Ceduna region by 31 Dec 2022"

[Compulsory Income Management Study @CIM_Study]

The Report of the Select Committee on Poverty in SA was tabled last month. Wonderful to see our Hidden Costs report and our AJSI article on compulsory income management and homelessness extensively cited

[Dr Michelle Peterie @MichPeterie]

The latest article from our @CIM_Study - expertly led by @StevenHWRoche - is now out!

We find that Compulsory Income Management measures are poorly suited to addressing the needs of children, as they fail to influence the structural factors that most impact their wellbeing.
