My question is to the Prime Minister. Labor's decision to scrap the cashless debit card has led to an increase in crime, gambling, alcohol fuelled violence and child neglect. I'm receiving reports from locals in the town of Kununurra that schoolchildren who would otherwise have had money set aside for their canteen lunches are now going hungry. This was often the only meal that they would have had that day. When will this Labor government recognise that their reckless move to scrap the cashless debit card is leading to poorer outcomes in some of our country's most vulnerable communities?
