Cashless societies are ‘all about control’: Liz Storer

Sky News host Liz Storer says the push for the removal of cash in Australia is “all about control”.
Ms Storer said that is why “people need to keep using cash”.
“The more we keep it in circulation, the harder we make it.
“They have increasingly made it so hard and inconvenient.
“You can go to a cafe these days and people will literally refuse to take cash.”

Physical cash is the best compared to plastic cards.

Better use cash before we lose it!

I bought a few items at a garage sale for $50. I gave him a $50 note. The seller bought some new shoes with that $50 note. The shoe shop owner used the $50 note to buy some groceries. The grocer used the same note to buy a crate of watermelons from a local farmer. The farmer bought $50 worth of fuel for his tractor. The fuel seller bought his children some second-hand school uniforms with the $50. The mother who sold the second-hand uniforms put an extra $50 worth of food on the table for her children, using the $50 note. This continued for a multitude of transactions and every time the $50 was still worth the original $50. Now, using a card, the seller only received $49.90. The next seller only received $49.80. The next only received $49.70 ... this process continued until the whole $50 card payment was swallowed up in bank fees and resulted in $00.00, zero, zilch, nothing, nowt. No wonder banks want to remove cash from society.

[@victorytilidie]

Not EXACTLY true - every individual seller gets $49.90 - but your point remains the same. The greedy banks still get a cut each time.

[@TheTookster]

I said weeks ago that it as about control. Toe the line or we freeze your money

Its so hard to be cashless at the strip club. The girls hate it when I swipe my card

So, which party is standing against this at the next election then?

[@glennhumphries9444]

None; they are both complicit in following the WEF's orders.

[@ZELJKO472]

🐑 will never do a thing about it.

[@caroliner2029]

United Australia Party is for keeping cash, as is Pauline Hanson's One Nation. Senator Ralph Babet talks about it often, as does Senator Malcolm Roberts.

[@markbeale7390]

Sheeple​@@ZELJKO472

[@Greg9369]

One Nation and Senator Malcolm Roberts and Bob Katter are the best people to counter this socialist crap

Just look at what happened to westpac ahain today say no to digital currency

Legislation for cash for safety stranding people in rural areas with power and no cash the cost of the business/Personal losses will be astronomical in many different circumstances

[@caroliner2029]

Good to have the band back together 😁 Merry Christmas, Caleb, James and Liz.

[@petertalbot7261]

Liz is the the Nefertiti of Sky News. A veritable beauty. The guys try to compete and do their best to measure up and overall do a good job. Merry Christmas and a happy prosperous 2024 to you all at Sky News and indeed all in the news business. Nine , Seven Ten the ABC. The newspapers too who work tirelessly to bring us up to date with what is happening in our world. And it is is not always nice news quite distressing to the contrary. Many blessings to you and your families. Your dedicated work is appreciated.

[@nealkent]

Keep using cash. The big dunny in Canberra is owned by taxpayers present and past. They are mere administrators and need to be disband.

[@gerrycooper56]

It has to stop, plus no retailer should be able to refuse the legal tender.

[@briananderson7285]

Time to stop conformity and take control of your cash, say no all the digital slavery.

[@dodgeboy9052]

If people want to be monitored for when. , how and how much they spend where and when then accept cashless .. all these loyalty points.. frequent flyers, VIP rewards,12 months interest free, every time you fill in a form or give. some institution your e-mail. you are on the Governments Radar ... be very careful.

[@shyonegb]

If you keep complying they win. Time to take back your power.

[@michaelferguson387]

The currency act needs to be changed so that Aus currency has to be accepted as payment.

[@Mark-e9u9s]

Cashless, means the know what you buy , how much you spend and where you spend it! Hello 1984!

[@RonHarbeck-s8n]

Liz and James; Keep up the push for use of cash.. This piss weak goverment? should be legislating to stop this rot. This is legal tender and must be retained as such.

[@olddog-fv2ox]

If they ban ghe use of cash then we should just use American dollars as cash for a black market economy

[@Ozgipsy]

Good onya guys. Christmas shift is a killer. 👍👍

And all men great and small were compelled to take the mark and none could buy or sell save for the mark

Cash supports businesses . Cards support the banks !

I don't think the start of the holocaust is not even close to being related. The Jews couldn't have access to their money than get ship off to death camps... It's digital we still have access to our money.. but I also agree cash is king.. paying cash makes you spendless

[@MicheleDamato-co7vh]

I love you guys...... although I do prefer the original seating.

[@hirschy10]

Have fun when the power goes down you can not pay by card 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 . Cash is king always carry cash you may need it. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😎

[@KingatowCrew]

[@jonathoncalabrese2035]

The social credit system comes next. Behave badly and you’ll have everything blocked. And do or buy anything anywhere

[@axq3837]

Be careful. You will be called a conspiracy theorist.

Be called a conspiracy theorist is far better than being a sheep with f all idea of what is going on.

[@ZELJKO472]

John Has ALREADY happened. Covid vaccine. You were a social outcast if you didn't take. That was just phase 1. You will be connected to a control grid. No cash, social credits, misinformation bill and so on. It will ALL happen and people will still be saying conspiracy theorists and being good little 🐑

*ORWELLIAN SYSTEM,* to be exact! 😂

[@alexandrugeorgescu6366]

leaving the obvious aside for a moment (cash as a backup if "electricity" goes out) i'm having visions of a certain scene from a certain movie where a certain truck starts ramming some vehicles... Joker: hey, the authorities took yo' grapedrink away:(

Usually love what Liz says but have to turn the volume down to about half. She is just so boisterous she gives me a headache.

[@multioptioned]

She is moronic. Why is she always shouting? The people are only metres away from her! So annoying. Replace her.

[@ghostbaz12]

Never going happeneing cashless this is clickbait

[@Baerchenization]

Does not matter whether it is real cash or digital cash - they are both under the same control... go crypto or suffer for it.
