Cool to hear @RedCrossAU repeating right wing paternalistic talking points about the #CashlessDebitCard right now.

It seems @RedCrossAU have chosen to appear at the hearing about the #CashlessDebitCard repeal bill to make a lengthy pitch for … further funding for Red Cross.

Non-profit industrial complex get in the fucking bin.

Now they’re saying people in community should decide what happens with cashless welfare, except people who DON’T “volunteer” for cashless welfare should have to be “helped” (presumably by Red Cross) with paternalistic services that assume none of them can manage their own life.

Holy shit. When asked for a specific opinion on CDC she just brazenly said “I don’t know but no matter what the government does, whether positive or negative, Red Cross should be involved”
