Cashless debit card is all about Twiggy Forrest and the corrupt government. @SenatorSiewert highlighted this by pointing out that Generation One (Minderoo Foundation) was quoted 16 times, more than any NT group!!!
Again, @SenatorSiewert calling it how it is. Pointing out that if MPs had lived experience in the social security system, they’d know how awful CDC is.
@Malarndirri19 starts by highlighting the absolute failure of the government to be transparent.

The process of this bill and program is a farce. They’re treating checks and balances with contempt.
@Malarndirri19 points out that the last evaluation of the Basics Card was in 2014, and it said that it didn’t work!
@lidia__thorpe absolutely tearing this shit show of a bill (and parliament!) up. Going over the ongoing colonial history of Australia and highlighting how the CDC is just another rations and protections act imposed on First Nations' peoples.
"Nothing as fragile as white supremacy" @lidia__thorpe 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Louise_Pratt bringing up how income management creates new financial stress and makes life harder for those on it.

@lidia__thorpe mentioned in her speech that it took TWO MONTHS for a card to be sent out. Making the person homeless and forcing them to court over unpaid rent.
@PaulineHansonOz just reading a run sheet of government lines on the cashless debit card. Of course there is nothing of substance here, but again. It is worth highlighting that Hanson was against a cashless economy and banks... Yet, this bill supports both of those.
Considering One Nations performance during the QLD state election and its dwindling support. I have no doubt that @PaulineHansonOz is in continuous negotiations to be propped up by the LNP + feds to save Malcom Roberts (of which I can't tag as I'm blocked) senate spot. COWARDS.
@PaulineHansonOz choking on her own vile words.
Well done @Anne_Ruston you and your cronies picked a vile, racist to use your talking points. Happy?
This isn't about race is it @PaulineHansonOz? So why the FUCK would you draw in @lidia__thorpe's heritage.

Truly a disgusting and vile person that the Liberal Party, @ScottMorrisonMP and @Anne_Ruston are using to push their point. This is a disgusting state of affairs.
@PaulineHansonOz the last fucking job you had was in a fish and chip shop.
You can follow @JayCoonan.
