RSVP and invite your friends at the Facebook event.

For some years Kathryn, Amanda and their groups have been patiently explaining why these cards are so damaging to the lives of low income Australians, including First Nations peoples. Further, they have been providing practical solidarity to people, especially low-income women, whose lives have been harmed by the card.
Recently, Anthony Albanese added the ALP’s voice against the compulsory and privatised character of the current card system. Over the next 12 months or so there is a real chance that the card system as we know it can be defeated.

It’s time to learn all about what the cashless welfare debit card is, how it came about, why it is so destructive and how it can be defeated. This event is tailored for activists in unions, political parties, welfare groups, student organisations, pensioner organisations, and media so that you can encourage others not directly affected by the card to help put it to an end.
