I'me sure that Face Book have my details and connections but I deleted myself from FB some 12 months ago. I believe in Free Speech. I'm not sure that being able to say anything you like, anywhere, to anyone without fear of consequences qualifies as free speech. Social media that clearly points out the rules of access and use doesn't offer an open forum to say what ever you please.

The government wants us to think that it will stop people on welfare from drinking and using drugs, all it will do is bring back the barter system... two packs of steak for one carton of beer or a baggy of ####... and send more small businesses to the wall.
I was in business just before the GST came in and watched it send the small shops down like ninepins. Big business controlled capitalism is NOT their friend.

It WILL immediately start an absolute underground movement of barter ,,, and dirty deeds done dirt cheap . That you loose the ability to pay loans ? What about folk who pay any number of things off, ( SPURS just came to mind ,, so you can't pay your Spurs payments ,, go to jail ) Car loans , personal loans , Only accepted payments ,, whatever that means . I've read tonight about Merchant numbers on sales , and most are wrong ,, ( see Facebook Page Banjo flagged ) Everyday a new horror . Drug dealing will rise ,, easiest way to get cash ,, and cash is what they are stopping . We shall see said the blind man,,

Geralton was being potentially trialed because the local liberal MP thought it would be a great stepping stone to cities. Tudge said 2 things that were important. 1. A committee (usually made of elders/mayor) for the 2 current smaller sites can decrease from the 80/20 down to 60/40 if you apply and I guess the committee knows you. That's not going to fly in a regional city, and Tudge did mention a 50/50 split regards cash/debit for a city work for the dole kid. 2. That same great committee, and who decides who's on the committee which is gonna decide on cash/debit ratio you may incur, when with upteen thousand people they've never actually met you. Twiggy's plan wasn't really thought out, but it wasn't racist, and he was smarter than Gina? Really...

( Thi may have been initially touted . There is no way off the scheme at all,, Even if you leave the areas . Seeing this is a trial ,, I think the way it will Be finally presented ,, if at all,, will not be a given till after said trial . But we sure better keep An eye on this . Not being allowed off the scheme ,, even if you leave the area ,, would certainly stop trips away for those not on portability . Like myself . More holes in this scheme than a string bag ,, so far.

You can only read so many comments, before an overwhelming urge to jump through the screen and send some of those indulging in stupid on the today show site, to their makers.....

All good .))) I saw you on FB.
An interesting point , it's hard to desribe to " people ",, how this card works . They,, all seem to think , all is normal,, but somehow,, pubs etc will somehow , magically , decline your existing card . Wrong . The new system is easier explained thus,, It' will work more like a Gift Card ,, which can be used only in a limited number of ways . ive found this helps folk understand . Aldi ,, is NOT accepting the card ,, as they sell Grog . That's the only place I get , the very few supermarket things I use. Crash and Burn .
