Senate votes on Australia's cash payment mandate

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

The Australian Senate is voting today on whether to scrap cash payment mandates introduced earlier this year. Current rules require supermarkets and fuel retailers with turnover over $10 million to accept cash for in-person purchases under $500. Critics debate whether the mandate should be expanded to include pharmacies and medical services, or removed entirely due to costs imposed on businesses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
