But what if your income is already managed?

I'm only asking in case they decide to make it compulsory.

My water, rent & bond loan etc are all paid via centrepay. Power, phone, insurance are paid via bank transfer. Anything else is paid as it comes up, because it's not regular.

I like that everything is taken care of & I don't have to think about it. Can you set up transfers like these with the card? Why not just make people set these things up on centrepay?

I'm in an area where I highly doubt anyone will accept it. I know IGA don't, & that's all I have for 2 hours minimum.

I understand people in close contact with DCP/DoCS etc would definitely benefit. But I don't feel it'd be fair for those of us who are taking care of our families.

If I could use it for savings, I might think about it. But I hear advance payments will be put on the card.
If I get an advance I use it for rego, Christmas, or a trip away. Rego will probably be covered by the card, but I have to travel for shops, I do all my shopping online for this reason. Will I still be able to do that?

And much to some peoples disgust I should have the right use an advance to take my kids away if I please. That wouldn't be easy with all my money being on the card.



Just my thoughts. I see the positives, but I don't feel I fall under that category, so I don't feel I should be forced to use it.
I realise it's all just talk at the moment & that it may not even happen.
