I rise to make comments on the additional information presented to the Community Affairs Legislation Committee on the Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020. My views on the cashless debit card and income management are well known in this place. From day one the Greens have said, 'This is not good policy; this is not the way to treat people.' Compulsory income management has been in this country, in the Northern Territory, for nearly 13½ years.
