Greens senator Rachel Siewert has criticised the government following a recent Senate estimates meeting that revealed around $28 million was spent on the cashless debit card (CDC) scheme during 2019-20.
Greens senator says those funds should have been directed to support services "that work"
The card ensures 80 per cent of an individual's welfare payments are quarantined from paying for alcohol or gambling products and has been trialled in Ceduna in South Australia, the East Kimberly and Goldfields in WA and Hervey Bay and Bundaberg in Queensland.
Senator Siewert requested a breakdown of the costs, which showed the amount went to the CDC provider along with departmental, communication, technology and legal costs.
She said those costs should have been directed at helping communities on the cashless card trials.
"That's $28 million that could have been spent on delivering services and support that actually work; not on a program which causes shame, discrimination and where people feel like they want to get off the card.
"We need to be providing services that address disadvantage such as making sure there's enough housing and investing in jobs."
An evaluation of the controversial scheme released last week by the University of Adelaide found alcohol use had reduced in communities where the card had been introduced but that it could not be attributed to the card alone.
Monash University researcher Luke Greenacre, who ran a separate study on the program, said that from the evaluation, the positive impacts were negligible.
"The fact that we're able to continue having this debate about whether there is an impact or not tells us that, even if there is an impact, it must be tiny," he said.
"Because of this lack of consensus across multiple reports, it suggests that, on average, it's probably not achieving anywhere near enough to justify its cost."
Senator Siewert also criticised the government's late release of the University of Adelaide evaluation, which came after the Senate voted to extend the trials for another two years.
"It's appalling that it wasn't released earlier so that when we were debating the extension of the card, we had this information in front of us," she said.
"I think it may have changed the critical vote that in fact supported the extension of the card.
"The so-called trials were not set up as trials, there was not the proper process put in place to enable a proper evaluation — it cost $2.5 million for again no outcome.
"They've got this ideological obsession with income management which is what the CDC is; it's time they gave it up and invested that money in programs that work."
Defending the scheme, Liberal Member for Grey Rowan Ramsey, whose electorate covers Ceduna, said he thought the University of Adelaide report was generally pretty strong.
"I agree with Rachel that there wasn't clear benchmarking done before the trial started, and that makes it harder to sort out in retrospect just what the improvements have been," he said.
"But I get virtually no complaints from people on the ground that are on the trial — all the complaints I get are from people outside the trial."
Minister for Families and Social Services Anne Ruston has been contacted for comment.

5 and younger: FreeDespite being the only Wessex Division One side left a revival in the last ten minutes overturned the Rams in a fiercely fought match.
The game started off slowly but was brought to life by a bizarre Harry Bedford goal. Placed just past the centre circle his direct free kick found its way in. Assisted by the wind swerved towards goal and bounced up and over the goalkeeper for an amazing opener in this tense affair.
A small lapse in communication on the edge of the area as goalkeeper and defender get muddled up as George Lloyd advanced. Lloyd went down, as he appeared to be tripped however, despite the furious coach’s the ref waved away the claims.
As the soggy pitch and mist settled Webb had the chance to double the lead. Holding the ball on the left wing as he cut inside and unleashed a shot heading for the top corner. The visitors keeper, Ross Grimshaw, stuck out a strong palm to deflect the ball past the post.
From the resulting corner Grimshaw was needed again. This time making a rather dramatic save down low to his right shutting the Rams out again.
The Rams dominated the opening ten minutes of the second half as their first chance fell to Jordan Neal. The big striker received a diagonal ball into the area as his touch set him up but his effort was well blocked.
Roman Glass made it difficult for Petersfield as the second half levelled out with both defences working hard to shut down their opponents.
The hosts won a deep free kick as Bedford yet again stood over the ball. With shouts to shoot from the fans, he did. His dipping free kick needed saving and was by the diving Grimshaw.
As the match went on the visitors looked more likely to get back into the game. With the nerves creeping in to the Rams things went south as Matt Low was sin binned with fourteen minutes to play.
Things went from bad to worse for Petersfield in the 80th minute, with the man advantage Roman Glass made them pay. A controversial goal that was well taken by Steve Fitzpatrick, he seemed to be in an offside position when the chip ball was played in to him but he chested and volleyed past Petts as the goal stood.
With their tails up they took the lead just five minutes later. As the Rams played high pushing for the winner a long ball undid our defense as Ryan Radford showed fantastic pace, gliding past our players and dispatched cool as you like underneath Petts.
A devastating end to an amazing cup run that seen them make club history however the Rams bow out with their heads held high and face a tough trip to Folland Sports on Saturday.ENP team leader Luc Maroteaux and coll determine to unravel links between ﻿serotonin and dopamine systems in development and pathophysiological situations. Cocaïne, a powerfully addictive stimulant drug because of the changes it creates in the brain after repeated use, is known to increase levels of the brain dopamine. The authors now investigated the contribution of the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor to cocaine-dependent behavioral responses in male mice permanently lacking 5-HT2B receptors, totally or restricted to dopamine neurons. Mice exhibit a heightened cocaine-induced locomotor response reflecting therefore a higher response to the drug. Moreover, using pharmacological and electrophysiological approaches, the authors show that in animals lacking this serotonin receptor, the dopamine secretion is lower in the Nucleus accumbens (reward) by contrast to the rest of the brain. The authors highlight that these mice recapitulate a situation that has been reported in human beings that are cocaine-addicted.Writers Write is a resource for writers. In this post, we look at 10 obscure punctuation marks and when they can be used.
1.The Question Comma and the Exclamation Comma – For when you want to ask questions and/or express excitement in the middle of a sentence.
2. The Irony Mark – Introduced in the 19th century by Alcanter de Brahm, the Irony Mark is exactly what it sounds like — an indicator that the sentence should be understood on “another level”. And the mark generally precedes the sentence, so you know exactly what you’re getting into when you start reading.
4. The Doubt Point – Another mark proposed by Bazin, this snazzy number imbues your sentence with a note of scepticism — no eyebrow acrobatics required.
5. The Authority Point – For when you want your reader to know that you know what you’re talking about.
6. The SarcMark – This squiggle, invented by Paul Sak, isn’t the first proposed punctuation mark to denote sarcasm, but it’s definitely the weirdest to look at.
7. The ElRey Mark – This little two-headed exclamation point should be used when you’re cheery, but not over-the-top excited.
8. The Asterism – The Asterism is used for minor breaks in text, like a sub-chapter.
9. The Love Point – This mark, proposed by French author Hervé Bazin in his 1966 essay Plumons l’Oiseau, is obviously meant to come after statements of affection.
10. The Interrobang – It has all the drama
