Phasing out cash has serious implications for privacy, safety and financial exclusion among marginalised communities.

    “Australia’s transition to a cashless society”. Misleading headline; the article is reporting on a relative decline in the number of cash transactions. Don’t think there’s been any policy or legislation on phasing out cash.

        Maybe. How many businesses are refusing cash? *Could* they refuse cash? The article does not cover this. I found this piece insightful: https://nitter.net/CBSMornings/status/1185527270125002752
