Well worth the wait! Desley Casey, Reality Bytes Podcast host continues the discussion with Amanda Smith from Say No 7 Resources and No Cashless Debit Card Australia.
Amanda is a DSP recipient and mum of a disabled child living in Victoria; she is the policy and legislation analyst for the NCDCA and founder of the Say No Seven community. Amanda has spoken in senate, and has been producing videos and anti-propaganda articles and CDC information threads for the last six years.
Parts A and B of Amanda's interview dealt with the Impacts of the Cashless Debit Card on card holders, businesses and Australian society; human rights and more.
So Join Amanda and Desley as the discussion continues on:
- The Australian government
- Further discussion on the Cashless Debit Card legislation
- How people can advocate for themselves and also to stop the card
- And, so much more.
A quick update: Since the time of this interview being undertaken 3 women have now successfully been taken off the cashless debit card primarily due to the advocacy efforts of Amanda, Kathryn and the No Cashless Debit Card community.
Congratulations to Mahialia, Alicia and Bianca. Congratulations to the No Cashless Debit Card community and Say No 7 resources who raised the absolute distress Services Australia and Indue Ltd were putting these women through. If you wanted to know whether Amanda and all are making a difference then look no further.
