This is a complete list of those Australian MPs and Senators who voted for Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020.
The bill passed in the House of Representatives unamended on 7 December 2020 by a vote of 62 to 61.
Two days later on 9 December 2020 the bill passed in the Senate by 34 votes to 33, with the following government amendments:
- Persons resident in the Northern Territory will only transition from the Basics Card to the Cashless Debit Card on a voluntary basis.
- The Cashless Debit Card remains a trial scheme with an end date of 31 December 2022. However persons in the Northern Territory who transition to the Cashless Debit Card still remain eligible for income management after that date.
