The stupid thing is that the left hand of government doesn’t know what the right hand of government is doing.
The left hand is saying: don’t use cash, you are obviously a criminal if you use cash. Consultation on the Cash Transactions Ban Bill
The right hand is saying: we will make it less convenient for you to use one of the payment alternatives to cash (a mobile payment app).
Admittedly the left hand is “Commonwealth” and the right hand is “State”, so no real surprise that they are not well coordinated.
