Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020 on its way to Governor-General for assent - list of all MPs and Senators who voted for the bill

 

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.

Senator Patrick's amendment's to the bill were also passed. They can be found here.

Try this ABC interactive postcode search to find out how your suburb is faring with regard to access to mental health care

Find out how your postcode can influence whether you need help — and if you’ll get it — at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-08/covid-mental-health-system-medicare-inequality/12512378?nw=0

This is what the search revealed about Clarence Valley in the NSW Northern Rivers region.

According to ABC News “Story Lab” interactive article on 8 December 2020:

NSW postcodes 2450*, 2456, 2463, 2464, 2465, are post codes with profiles indicating they are somewhat disadvantaged, where 13.7 per cent of people are likely to be highly psychologically distressed.

NSW postcodes 2370*, 2460, 2462, 2466 & 2469* are postcodes with profiles indicating they are most disadvantaged fifth of suburbs, where 18.3 per cent of people are likely to be highly psychologically distressed.

People in these postcodes fall into the area of Clarence Valley.

In Clarence Valley, taxpayers funded 23.49 sessions of care per 100 people, which cost $2,164. The national average is 22.87 sessions for $2,375.

In case you might have been wondering, NSW post code 2229 (where Prime Minister & MP for Cook Scott Morrison indicates his family home is located) and postcode 2063 (where NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian indicates her home is located) have profiles which are among the least disadvantaged so only 9 per cent of people are likely to be highly psychologically distressed.

In Morrison’s post code taxpayers fund 25.42 sessions of care per 100 people, which cost $2,632. That's a higher spend than the national average of 22.87 sessions for $2,375. While in Berejiklian’s postcode taxpayers funded 22.8 sessions of care per 100 people, which cost $2,659. That's nearer the national average of 22.87 sessions for $2,375.

NOTES

* Postcode 2450 predominately covers Coffs Harbour, 2370 predominately covers Inverell-Tenterfield and postcode 2469 predominately covers Richmond-Tweed, with some crossover with the Clarence Valley at edges of these post code ranges.

Recent Berejiklian Government reset after education policy failure seen as 'buck passing' by NSW Teachers' Federation

The Age, 7 December 2020:

Educators have lashed out at the NSW government's new performance targets for public schools, saying the policy fails to provide them with specialist resources they need and instead scapegoats teachers and principals for system failures.

The new School Success Model, announced by Education Minister Sarah Mitchell on Sunday, will require the education department to intervene in public schools that fail to meet performance targets and see executives take more responsibility for school outcomes.

It replaces the troubled Local Schools, Local Decisions model from 2012, which gave principals greater autonomy but axed support staff and left the department with little influence over how schools made decisions or spent money.

NSW Teachers Federation president Angelo Gavrielatos said Sunday's announcement was "more spin than substance" as it failed to restore adequate specialist support for schools. He said it instead blamed teachers and principals for failures.

"This policy will not deliver schools, teachers and principals the support they need to perform the very complex task expected from them ... It will not address crippling administrative burdens placed on schools," he said.

"It provides no evidence of the restoration of more than 800 specialist and expert positions that were stripped from the system when Local Schools, Local Decisions was announced."

He accused the government of attempting to distance itself from the "failed policy", which had cut support to schools for efficiency gains…..

IUCN report finds climate change is a threat to 69 per cent of Australia's 16 World Heritage sites, including the Great Barrier Reef, more than double the global trend of 33 per cent

Mark Graham takes hope from pockets of Gondwana rainforests regenerating after the bushfires.(Supplied: Drew Hopper)

Ecologist Mark Graham has studied Australia's Gondwana rainforests for decades and, after years of drought and bushfires, says things have never looked so dire.

"To bear witness to the loss of some of these ecosystems . . . it's a very upsetting thing to observe," he said.

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature [IUCN] this week rated Gondwana rainforests a "significant concern". In 2017 the same report rated the forests as "good, with some concern".

The IUCN is the official advisor on nature to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee.

The report also found climate change was a threat to 69 per cent of Australia's 16 World Heritage sites, including the Great Barrier Reef, more than double the global trend of 33 per cent.

Burnt rainforests 'still suffering'

The Gondwana subtropical rainforests stretch from the Hunter region in NSW to south-east Queensland and were entered on the World Heritage List in 1986, with extensions in 1994.

The 41 national parks and reserves ranging from 10 hectares to 102,712 hectares contain more than 200 rare or threatened plant species and have been compared with the Galapagos Islands in terms of global importance.

Mark Graham said more than a year after major bushfires, some parts of the rainforests were still suffering.

"There are definitely [some of] these really ancient forests that have burnt, and a year or more on there's very little, if any, life in them," he said.

"Thankfully, in some of our fire grounds, there is recovery occurring."

'Other threats increasing'

Mr Graham said the real concern now was more fires that might further reduce the size of the rainforests.

The IUCN report points out that while management has so far been effective in addressing challenges, further management responses will be required to address increasing threats, particularly those posed by bushfires as well as invasive species, pathogens, and climate change.

"There is wide recognition that considerable conservation actions will be required," the report says

"However, there is the lingering prospect that the catastrophe is a clear sign of the impact of climate change on weather patterns, and that these changes will not be reversed easily."…….

The Sydney Morning Herald, 6 December 2020:

The 3 billion animals estimated to have been killed, injured or seen their habitat destroyed by the summer fires is now understood to have included 143 million mammals, 181 million birds, 51 million frogs and 2.46 billion reptiles.

The toll includes an estimated 40 million possums and gliders caught in the path of fires; more than 36 million antechinuses, dunnarts, and other insectivorous marsupials; 5.5 million bettongs, bandicoots, quokkas, and potoroos; 5 million kangaroos and wallabies; 1.1 million wombats and 114,000 echidnas.

It is believed 60,000 koalas were killed, injured or lost habitat, with the worst losses on Kangaroo Island where 40,000 were killed or harmed in some way.

About 11,000 koalas were hit in Victoria and 8000 in NSW according to a new report into the impact of the fires on native wildlife, which confirms an earlier overall estimate but provides far more detail about the losses.

Professor Chris Dickman of the University of Sydney, who oversaw the research on behalf of the Worldwide Fund for Nature Australia, said the impact on reptiles was so high because they live in such great densities in some of the worst affected areas, with small lizards such as skinks reaching densities of 1800 per hectare.

Researchers mapped the path of the 15,000 fires over 11.46 million hectares of the total 19 million hectares that burnt over the summer, and married it with existing data about animal densities in the areas hit.

They did not directly estimate numbers of animals killed because research about how different animals may survive fires is limited, and the factors that contribute to impact are varied. For example some species can flee faster and others are more resilient at surviving later in a burnt landscape.....

"Schemes for diverting the Clarence have been put forward at regular intervals for close to 100 years, and all have been rejected as being economically unviable, and environmentally devastating, and socially unacceptable."

 

Clarence Valley Independent, 5 December 2020:

Investigating Potential River Diversions

It’s on again! Another plan to solve all inland Australia’s drought problems, by taking supposedly inexhaustible quantities of water from the Clarence River.

The latest scheme comes via a NSW Government draft Regional Water Supply Strategy which at this stage is only listed as an option, suggesting a: “Comprehensive investigation of potential diversion of flows from the east of the Great Dividing Range”.

We really have to ask, how many comprehensive investigations do we need? Schemes for diverting the Clarence have been put forward at regular intervals for close to 100 years, and all have been rejected as being economically unviable, and environmentally devastating, and socially unacceptable.

The Clarence diversion idea has been supported by a mythical 5 million megalitre average annual flow figure and perpetuated by the propensity for modern day consultants to rely on desk-top reviews.

The reality is, Clarence River flows, measured at the Lilydale gauge, have averaged barely 2 million megalitres since it was installed in 1970. So where did the 5 million figure come from?

The last report to quote that amount was by the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation in 2007, referencing a NSW Water Resources report from 1981, That report in turn referenced a seminar by the Department of Water Resources, which claimed to have “relied on readily available information…”.

Undoubtedly, that ‘readily available’ information’ came from a June 1975 report promoting “The Jackadgery Multi-purpose Dam Project”, which claimed the Clarence “has a long-term average annual runoff of some 5 million megalitres”, but provided no reference.

My guess is that they simply took the readings from the Lilydale gauge which had been installed 4 years earlier and used that 4-year average. However, 1972 recorded the highest ever flows, over 9.5 million megalitres, thus inflating the 4-year average to 5 million.

It’s hard to believe consultants would not check readily available on-line figures from gauges, but I suppose, if you are proposing to pump 1 million megalitres across the range, 5 million looks a lot better than 2 million!

– John Edwards

From 10 November to 6 December 2020 the Clarence River at Lilydale was less than 1 metre in height and, as readers will probably have guessed, the automatic gauge reading on the summer morning of 6 December was 220.4 megalitres. In fact daily water flow had been below 250 megalitres for the previous 12 days.

As for longer period records derived from rainfall, stream water level and discharge rate - the Lilydale gauge has shown monthly water flow rates from1971 to 2020 which do not support the idea that there is 'surplus to needs' water flowing down the Clarence River and into the estuary.

A reminder that the Morrison Government's extension of the Indue Cashless Debit Card is due to commence in stages from 2021 onwards

 

"Someone in an office who doesn’t know me is in charge of my financial existence. Same abuse as my former marriage.” (R127-MNI46CDC). [Greg Marston, et al, Hidden Costs: An Independent Study into Income Management in Australia, February 2020]

The Indue Cashless Debit Card is a federal government program which locks 80 per cent of an individual's periodic social security cash transfer payments into that card and dictates what that card can be used to purchase. The remaining 20 per cent of an individual's social security payment is periodically paid into that individual's personal bank account.

The debit card program applies to every person between 15 and 65 years of age who receives a Centrelink pension, benefit or payment - other than Age and Veterans Affairs pensions which are currently exempt.

On 8 October 2020 the Morrison Government introduced into the House of Representatives the Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020 which:

"Amends the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999 to: remove the trial parameters to establish the Cashless Debit Card (CDC) as an ongoing program; establish the Northern Territory and Cape York areas as CDC program areas and transition income management participants in these areas to the CDC program in 2021; remove a current exclusion to enable people in the Bundaberg and Hervey Bay program area to voluntary participate in the CDC program; enable a voluntary participant to continue to volunteer for the CDC even if they no longer reside in a program area; enable the secretary to advise a community body when a person has exited the CDC program; enable the minister to determine decision-making principles for the purposes of determining whether a person can demonstrate reasonable and responsible management of the person's affairs; enable the secretary to review a wellbeing exemption or exit determination in certain circumstances and remove the determination as a result of such a review; enable the secretary to issue and revoke a notice informing a person that they are a CDC program participant; remove the requirement that an evaluation be conducted by an independent expert of a review of the CDC program; and extend the sunset date for income management in Cape York from 30 June 2020 to 31 December 2021."

This bill reached the Third Reading stage unamended and on 7 December 2020 passed the Lower House by a vote of 62 to 61 (See list at end of post for names & electorates). It is now before the Senate.

When this bill finally becomes legislation all welfare recipients (with the exception of Age and Veterans Affairs pensioners) in the Ceduna SA, East Kimberley WA, Goldfields SA areas will be compulsorily placed on the Indue Cashless Debit Card and all persons in Cape York, Qld and the Northern Territory currently having their income managed will be compulsorily transferred to the Indue Cashless Debit Card.

This forced transfer applies even if during the trial period a welfare recipient was a voluntary trial participant and, all monies held in other income management accounts such as the Basics Card will be immediately transferred over to the forced participant's Indue Cashless Debit Card.

Welfare recipients in the Bundaberg and Hervey Bay areas in Queensland who were voluntary cashless debit card trial participants will be compulsorily transferred to the ongoing Indue Cashless Debit Card program.

The Age Pension is now included as a welfare payment which will be a restrictable payment and therefore included in the Indue Cashless Debit Card program of those who have entered or will enter the program voluntarily and can be included as a restrictable payment in the Cape York area on a case by case basis for involuntary participants.

The cashless debit card program began its trial rollout on 15 March 2016 and yet, according to card holders, after four years Indue Ltd:

• still fails to reliably make scheduled payments on time when it comes to regular mortgage, rent, electricity, gas, telephone/internet accounts due and program participants therefore incur late fees, receive letters threatening non-renewal of a lease/eviction or their credit rating begins to suffer;

• will suddenly decline payment at supermarkets, clothing, electrical/white goods and assorted other stores without explanation, even when there is more than enough money on a participant's debit card to pay;

• will reject use of the debit card for online purchases for absurd reasons - such as not allowed to buy a non-fiction book because the online bookstore might sell books on how to make alcoholic drinks and, not allowed to buy a stethoscope for educational course work because the online site sells hand sanitiser which contains alcohol as one of its ingredients: 

• still has instances where a participant's money disappears from an account which shows a credit balance and repayment of this cash transfer error is not corrected for weeks; and

• still has an IT (including AI) system vulnerable to internal/external outages which leave participants without the ability to use the debit card;

• still does not save and store the details of cashless debit card participant accounts, instead requiring the payer to enter full details for each one-off payment; and

• still has not managed a satisfactory patch of Indue app problems. 

Matters to Note:

The Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020 does not rule out the federal government increasing the number of designated program areas within the states at some future date.

At all times the federal government reserves the right to monitor how Cashless Debit Card users are spending their money.

Most of the existing financial institution guidelines and regulations do not appear to apply to Indue Ltd's contract to manage the federal government's Cashless Debit Card program and consumer protection also seems to be minimal.

It is not certain if, once the Cashless Debit Card changes from a trial to an ongoing program, it is still covered by the federal government's Financial Claims Scheme.  Nor is it certain if, on death, the balance in the Indue Ltd account of a cashless debit card program participant becomes part of their estate or if it can lawfully be retained by Indue for payment of unspecified fees and charges.

Since May 2020 Indue Ltd pays interest on the balance held in a participant's cashless debit card account. However, the interest rate is decided by the federal government so it is unlikely to ever rise higher than somewhere between 0.01 per cent and 1.0 per cent.

The total daily payment limit on the Cashless Debit Card is currently set by default at $10,000.

Indue Ltd reserves the right to charge fees in certain circumstances. See Indue Ltd Cashless Debit Card Account Conditions of Use.
