The fate of Australia's controversial welfare experiment — the cashless debit card — could rest with Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie and her whirlwind outback tour.The cashless debit card is designed to curb drug and alcohol abuse by limiting access to cash through quarantined welfare payments
Senator Lambie today finished her visits to cashless debit card trial sites in Western Australia, on what she has called a"fact-finding mission" into the card's success. The cashless welfare card operates in WA's East Kimberley and Goldfields, Ceduna in SA, and recently began inSenator Lambie said she had seen"good results" at the trial sites but told the ABC she would not reveal how she would vote.

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
