My question is to the Prime Minister. The cashless debit card presently restricts 80 per cent of working-age welfare payments in vulnerable communities from being spent on alcohol, drugs and gambling. Will you, Prime Minister, guarantee there'll be no increase in the number of drunken, violent acts suffered by women and children when you cancel the card, as you've promised?
