I do not believe fed govts,should have option to make citizenry in regional service vacuums, face, upturned nose of ScottMorrisonMP and his cabinet, with same parameter of detention that murdered RezaBarati. ASRC1 JustinianNews euronews nzherald ExtinctionReb Reuters

We're fucked..

Lambie is a sellout, she will do a deal,and voila, the debit card will be trialled longer. This governments priorities are fucked!

and what about the real scum causing heaps of grief to low income/welfare recipients - the payday lenders. This cashless welfare card will be driving business to them.

Why don't she live on one if she wants 'facts'?

After all, it’s our taxpayer $’s and our elected govt. is obliged to ensure it’s not wasted.

a dystopian hell for anybody on welfare

Already showed contempt for facts in medivac in favour of fear politics. She lost integrity.

'Senator Lambie said she had seen 'good results' at the trial sites but told the ABC she would not reveal how she would vote.' Seriously, why do people give her so much leeway and benefit of the doubt? She ALWAYS votes for her OWN interest AGAINST the interests of Australians.

The Cashless Card is the way Colonialists think. This is a free country, placing restrictions on vulonable people within our society is not the answer.

Unlikely to announce anything until she gets poleaxed behind closed doors and folds like an origami duck

Historic day in Washington as Donald Trump impeachment trial begins in the SenateSenators are expected to vote on a resolution setting the rules for the trial. I'll lay odds the impeachment will go nowhere and Trump will be re-elected for a second term. Clinton has just proved how stupidly divided the Democrats are. Sadly, like Labor in Australia and Labour in the UK, they offer no vision, or leadership, just rehashed tired politicians. The impeachment 'acquittal' has started 🥳🇺🇸😉🇦🇺 What a farce

Day one of Trump’s historic impeachment trial beginsBREAKING: There has been a last minute change to the rules as Donald Trump's impeachment trial kicks-off. 'The president is accused of breaking the law' No, he wasn't impeached for 'breaking the law' at all. He was impeached for obstruction of congress and abuse of power. Which aren't even crimes. You fake news hacks *still* can't get even the basic facts right. It's hilarious people still argue the point of no crimes or evidence. Nixon & Clinton, faced the same or similar articles. It is a law in the US to withhold documents or testimony from Congress. It is also a law to interfere with law & justice. No evidence? Trump has withheld it!
