The Greens strongly disagree with compulsory income management. It is the view of the Greens—based on our consultations with organisations like the Central Land Council and the Aboriginal peak organisations of the Northern Territory—that the cashless debit card should be voluntary, not compulsory, in the same way that we wouldn't expect any other members of our communities to be subjected to compulsory income management.

Senator Lambie, I will take your interjection, but I listened to you in respectful silence, and I request that you do the same.
