My question is to the Prime Minister. The coalition strongly supports the cashless debit card for welfare payments to working-age recipients where alcohol and drugs are a problem. Research from the University of Adelaide showed that the cashless debit card led to a 21 per cent decrease in gambling and 45 per cent of people believed it had improved their lives. Prime Minister, to please the inner-city, woke audience you've abolished the card. As Jacinta Price points out, it will result in higher incidences of domestic violence and assault in Indigenous communities. Why make a bad situation worse?
