- Sky News host Rowan Dean has criticised the idea of having a cashless society, arguing that “cash equals freedom."
“Cash in the pocket of the working man and woman has always symbolised freedom … we get rid of it at our peril,” Mr Dean told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
I agree with Rowan! Cash must remain for freedom! Otherwise, governments and corporations can control us! Which is what they want to do!
Insert monero (more private form of bitcoin) here. Were going cashless.
Bravo.
And where do you get the cash ? Only drug dealers use it and crazy old people who use their debit card to get it from an ATM and then hold up the check out at Lidl while they have to count it out in shillings .
So when the power goes out or the internet down how do you pay?? Wake the F up people, say no
"how do you pay?" *_you don't_* (that's the thing)
I saw it happen at Coles once. We had a blackout and they said leave your trolley and leave the premises. Even cash was useless as the bar scanners didn't work and the tills were electric.
@@Diponty Yep life just ends which is why we must say no to complete digital.
so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 😈😈👿👿
how do you pay if tomorrow gov is going to say that for example 2123XXXXX series of notes are not money and all you got is this series? :) Or they say 50 bills are not money anymore. currency must have value by itself, gold got it, pre WWII money had it.
A cashless society is complete slavery and obedience.
Cryptography to the rescue! Long live anonymous! Monero!!
It will be the opposite. Humans go into survival mode when threatened so this will basically destroy countries around the world.
Do Australians want the banks to have complete control of your money and charge a fee for every transaction you make. That's what a cash free system will be. Don't let this happen.
Free society ends the day we go cashless, just imagine everything you buy or sell gets and extra corporation tax.
Say something the Govt doesn't like..oh dear they have turned off my digital currency bank account...
No, using a card is pretty much the same. Keep in mind you already get your cash from a digital account. No on is disabling your bank account because this isn't China.

"No on is disabling your bank account because this isn't China."
Nigel Farage (England, not China) had his bank account cancelled because they didn't like his views. The point is, it doesn't have to be China any more.
No one is disabling your bank account???? Have you just come out of a coma? The Canadian truckers, Nigel farage???
A bank with no cash is like a pub with no beer
The pub with no beer is next on the list of freedoms to stomp on. Drinking booze will increase your ESG.
Except that a pub without beer (with its poisonous, addictive depressant known as alcohol) is a good thing.

No. I just know that alcohol is a dangerous drug that does a lot of harm in the community.

For the real adults amongst us it's perfectly ok, except for twonks like you who think banning things is the solution
Go research the Prohibition and come back and tell us all how that worked out in terms of crime and violence
It a blatant NO from me, cash is king.
It's not a vote 🙄.
@@raymondwilliams5661 ultimately it is
I'm sorry Mr Smith, but you have already purchased 2 bottles of wine this week, and that is all you are allowed.
Bathtub gin and home brew.
and we noticed Mr Smith that you used your car more than once last week and strayed out of your allotted area. This is your only warning.
We as a nation cannot let this happen. Cash is our economic freedom. You do not require power, nor computer, nor phone to use cash. Once it is gone, you will be entrapped into a must participate system. Your choice to step away from mainstream will be over. Freedom economically, freedom of speech and thought, freedom of choice are sacred to our way of life. Government and business have no right to take these from Australians.
Was cash before electronic funds not a 'must participate system'? I suppose you could always barter...
@xandrewbrown Yes but your phone was on the wall at home. There were no computers. Life was more simple, you did not have to even have a phone if you had a job and knew your regular hours. What I am saying is that today we are forced to have a mobile phone and or a computer. Now they want to put your drivers licence on your phone and make it a wallet. All good until you drop your phone in a puddle. Cash works every time, no matter what. Convenience is lazy and a CON of big business.
@@lucasroe2878 I've never used a phone to pay for anything. I've used debit and credit cards - which believe it or not can still be put in a zip-zap manual machine if necessary.

DEBT is an instrument to control the population!
I use cash in at least 95% of my transactions. I am very much aware of the dangers of going cashless.
Always keep CASH in hand wallet or purse.
Haven’t bothered for over 10 years.
@@oggyoggy1299 People like you will take the mark of the beast without any argument. Sadly there are many lemmings like you.
This will be the end...I will boycott businesses that do not accept cash. Most people DO NOT think about what will be affected.
A cashless society? - How to increase Black Markets of trade and barter and in turn increase theft and more gruesome crimes.
Edit: Crime gangs will rule a cashless society.
Then get prepared to do with very little as most places you can only use card.
@@dhenderson1810Yeah we will have less but people will survive trading 'anything' for food. Crime will increase and another currency will form in a black market. Humans don't survive on economics we survive on food and water. A hungry person will do what it takes to eat and survive...regardless of any laws.
@@dhenderson1810
"Then get prepared to do with very little as most places you can only use card."
Apart from online shopping/payments, I've not (yet) encountered very many that won't accept cash.
THAT IS ECACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING ALSO 🙂
I dont think a lot of people realise how much they will lose if cash goes and we get CBDC inforced on us all.
Absolutely true Rowan and exactly why the tyrannical authorities want to remove it. The other issue is that if there is a major satellite outage due to a solar flare or hacking for example, then we MUST have an analogue system to allow us to keep on functioning.
You might lose the cash or it might be stolen BUT it is the price we pay for true freedom.
Where are the legislatures? Banks that do this need to have their business licenses revoked.
I miss the days when you were given a pay packet at the end of the week.
It always gave me that good feeling that it was mine to do with as I wish.
While it was hard to get to the bank sometimes, it all made sense and you were never worried about being scammed because most transactions were face to face.
I am guessing that is why the billionaires don't like it, it slows their profit taking way down but it is good for local businesses.
What happens when the computer systems crash or get hacked?
Are these people all right in the head?
Why destroy good things that work only to replace them with bad things that inevitably fail?
Exactly. EFTPOS being down is very common. As a customer, you probably don't notice it because the common faults are with the terminals themselves, and in larger shops with half a dozen or more, they can just move to a different register and keep going.
But in small businesses, or when the fault is something further out from the terminal (like business internet, or the mobile towers, or the bank's servers) the ability to process transactions goes down entirely.
Cash is king. It's just another way for the gov to know what, when and where 24/7.
Go to any Bank and try and withdraw your money out in Cash! The Bank treats you as if you were trying to rob them.
So, make them give you the service a customer deserves.
Years ago, I had a female bank teller ask me in a quite unpleasant, demanding manner what I wanted cash for. I had gone in to make my usual cash withdrawal for shopping, bills etc. I was absolutely shocked at her manner and demand. I calmly told her it was to pay for shopping and bills (not that it was any of her business anyway!!) and she snarkily responded that most people did it online/ by card. I told her that I use cash, she huffily filled the request and I left. I seriously thought about reporting her, but I knew this was an organised push in this direction, here we are people, collectively fighting for our choice to use cash. I always have been, and always will be, a cash user as much as possible. I don't have a problem with walking out of a store that doesn't do cash. Or just not going there in the first place. I can be selective, too😉
My bank seized my own funds for doing a transfer from one bank to my own account at another bank. This is what happens when we give banks too much power. It took me weeks to get my bank account unlocked.
@donnaccain Crimes of the banks. Their own system is so shonky. They think every transaction could be scammers. It proves that we have gone backwards with tech.
Ask Nigel Farage about CBDC.
Unfortunately, a number of local banks and shops near me have gone cashless and refuse to accept physical cash. Everyone needs to remember that if everything is cashless, the government can stop you from accessing your own money with the click of a button, as Rowan said happened in Canada and the UK.
They've done it to Nigel Forage in England.
Farage is not the only person - amongst others a CofE vicar has had his account cancelled because he asked why the bank was festooned in pride flags.
My response is simple - if you can, boycott shops that won’t take cash. Eventually people power will win.
In australia?
@@johnvine3985 yes
It reads on every Australian bank note, “legal tender throughout Australia” and used to have, “this Australian note is legal tender throughout Australia and it’s territories”.
How do you then render this currency unusable.
It doesn’t read, this note may be used in Australia but we would prefer you to use digital currency (so we can track and trace your every transaction…) more often than you are doing now.
It’s all a bit ridiculous on the one hand and truly frightening on the other.
Thank you Rowan. It is about control. It is very important that we hold onto cash.
Never go cashless cash Is king
I've decided I'm going back to the old land line and snail mail way of official communications. I refuse to join this new fan-dangled digital world. I wont and don't even do online banking. I don't spend my money at shops that are card only and I refuse to pay for parking by phone as it is. I prefer the physical, not the digital world, thank you.
Once they have control over your money where everything is electronic, they can shut you down in a click.
Not only 'can' but Canada DID DO THAT by rendering digital currency for truckers NULL and VOID thus making them penniless.
All of the Face Book Marketplace sale I know of are concluded by face to face meetings and payments made in cash. There is merchant's proverb "Always see the colour of the buyer's money'', which is routinely followed by buyers and sellers on the private markets. Cash really is vital to the privacy of transactions.
once cash goes we are all under the thumb of the big companies. and andrew SHOULD care
The old movie "Its A mad Mad World" has returned.
Love cash, use cash anywhere I can.
Cash for us Oldies TOO who are NOT into computers ,it’s to FORCE us to be watched all 24hrs now
Look at commonwealth last week, nobody could withdraw cash or make transactions for almost a full day. Cash is king, we need cash
Cash is the STAR..FEELING THE CASH MONEY IN YOUR HAND GIVES YOU POWER AND DIGNITY!! NO DIGITAL CURRENCY NO SOCIAL CREDIT!! WE ARE NOT COMMIES.!
I still use cash!
I believe this week from 3rd til 10th is "pay with cash" week.
I just pulled a nice bundle from the bank and it feels good to buy what i want without a digital record of my transactions
Banks refusing to give cash out to people is a good time to move Banks
When I saw this I thought back of my several months in the Sydney area (2018) and, while on the bus, listening to some folks sitting about me talking about how awesome it would be to not have to worry about cash when all one has to do is swipe their card. After a bit of this I started shaking my head and guess they noticed this and basically asked for my op. When I started talking one said quickly to the affect of me being an American and probably thought 'orange man bad' was awesome etc. Guess these same folks must love biden. ffs - Luckily my stop was next so I did not have to endure anymore of this shite and as I stood up I said out loud something like 'have fun being held hostage' and then yelled 'thanks driver' and got out.

Funny how they do not mention the cyber crime that's going off?
In the UK here. My corner shop does not accept cash. They have a sign up on the door, and at the plexiglass infront of counter saying "CARD ONLY!"
edit: I forgot to say, that woman at 1:02 talking about banks not having cash. My NATWEST bank refused to give me £3,000 last year to get my sister a second hand car. The guy wanted cash in hand for his car, e was on benefits so £3K going in his bank would raise issues. My bank told me I need to ask permission, wait for up to 72 hours for them to decide if I need the money and then they'll arrange it to arrive in the bank.
Instead i got a dozen friends and family to come to the bank, i transferred the maximum withdraw to each one and they withdrew it from the ATM's infront of the woman who refused to give me the £3K She went mental at us when she realised and started kicking us all out. So we went to the hole in the wall outside and did it there until she came out and again, kicked off. They actually turned the ATM outside off with a "temporarily out of service" message on the screen. Managed to get the money out at Tesco and Sainsbury ATM's and get the car for sister.
But it shows you, banks don't want to give us our money. Because they can, and will, close our accounts like Nigel last week. Its happened to the canadian truckers the other year, to people who supported them. To a vicar in the UK who said he was against the trans people exposing children to sex, even a gay man whose dog was cancelled because the owner said "why are you promoting LGBT stuff, i just want my dog tracker renewed?" You have the wrong thought and you're un-person. Welcome to 1984.
Any bank which would deny me MY money would have that account closed by ME by the end of that business day. To tolerate such behavior from a bank is to put us all at risk. Just like we did to PayPal, hurt them as much as possible.
I hope you closed the account and all your families
Here in Greece, cash is king! WEF is tracking, what you spend YOUR money on. AND where!
Any business that won’t take cash boycott them, Bud light company is finding that customers will not buy their products.
I can't believe the blase attitude of Andrew Bolt regarding the threat of a cashless society.
@davewatson2124-maybe he hasn't researched it enough.
Because he's really one of 'them'. Have you not noticed?
Actually, in China, you also have to produce papers to travel on trains (other than subway)
Correct Rowan. We use cash all the time. We want to be free.
ANZ branch must be going bust when there is no cash at a Branch. Either ANZ is giving all their customers cash into some foreign Digital Coins Bank, thus leaving no cash at an ANZ vault. You got to be kidding?
Everyone needs to stop with the digital payments. Use cash!!!! Especially our young people, the convenience of card/ digital payments is going to be your undoing.
Young people won't do that cause they are too bloody lazy
It doesn’t cost 1.5% to hand over a lobster or a pineapple, it does when you tap and go
We must keep cash
If everyone rushes all the banks and takes there money out
as a protest against removing cash or out right protest at banks
involved we might sway them to leave cash in circulation.
Government wants tax money,
Why are we beholden to banks
They are pushing Wef agenda
Those pushing the hardest,government, banks ect
Want total unlimited control of you and what you do and when you do it,most of all,they want power
And nobody, nobody is talking about the exorbitant (card provider) fees on every single transaction we have to pay.
Plus exorbitant interest fees for those that aren’t going to be able to pay off there credit bill every month.
Plus many retailers are now passing their fees on to the customer.
Was in Melbourne CBD for a few days recently (never again Mayor Sally Crapp) and at a guess 75% of retailers would not accept cash payment.
It’s a disgrace. 🤬🤬
I stay out of banks. They now treat you like you're doing something wrong, with all the questions and sour looks.
Where do you sign pertition
There were 2 DWP petitions for a general election with over a million signatures. They pushed it to the longest they can. It's time to act.
Lots of businesses, including ALDI, are charging 1.2% fees to using cards. So cash will make a come back. I for one are not paying fees for a transaction.
I have gone back to cash. While I still use credit and debit cards from large purchases, for day to day spending, I use cash.
I refuse to use any shop/business that doesn't accept cash.
Had to bail my mate out- with my cash- last night when his phone had no internet connection. A lot of tech savvy people around but devoid of forward thinking skills. The blackouts that are coming will be the eye opener for many.
O come on what could possibly go wrong with a cashless society? Expiry dates on digital currency to force spending? or perhaps introduce limit rates to encourage not to spend. Now why on earth would any government or bank want to flip flop between them two scenarios.🤪
Agree with Rowan! "CASH DOES EQUAL FREEDOM!!!" It's ridiculous how people use a card or phone to operate. They are giving away their Freedom! We love ❤️ Rowan Dean.
Save our CASH ! They already did a trial for cashless when they made the Basic Card for government payments in the NT .
We need to take these banks to court!
Yes the only problem with tap and pay is that sometimes the machine doesn't work properly or not at all so we need cash as a backup and people like me need cash sometimes as I like to save money in the bank
Great topic as always :)
Technology is not good enough to go cashless. What happens when technology fails. As it often does. Natural disaster occurs we always resort to cash when power is down.
@darrenparsons3686- tell that to the WEF!!!!!!!.
We had some of our Countries worst flooding on record Feb 28 2022 in Northern NSW. We had no access to electronic banking for over a week, could not use credit cards, could not use debit cards only cash, without cash we would have gone hungry.
The banks are the real winners in a cashless society
After what they have done to Nigel and the truckers in Canada, and the fact that our money will be in the hands of private corporations 24/7, can charge whatever fees they want and you can't take your money from them, not to mention these big companies and government dept being hacked all the time, no thanks, keep your hands off our money.
What about youngsters doing things like paper rounds; how are they paid, as often they are too young to have bank accounts. Or the person you have doing your gardening; how do you pay him / her?
They’re not to young to have bank accounts.
@@Reindeer_jay Of course they are; when was the last time someone you know received a payment from a 10 year old?
Children can indeed have bank accounts. A parent is trustee. With our firstborn, I opened an account not long after they were born with the idea that we could put a bit in each week and they'd have a nice amount when they were older. It didn't quite work out, but the point is, children can have accounts. Accessibility is limited, though. These days, I tell our kids to hold off in until they 'need' it for work, but not to trust the banks and to use cash as much as possible. They listen to varying degrees..... We live in a small town that doesn't have much, so online purchases are very tempting and even necessary at times.
@@dl21633 I opened bank accounts for my kids when they were about three .. when they’d start getting little bits of pocket money. As they got older they’d manage them more and more themselves. Definitely they were getting money in and out of their accounts by ten years old.
We're fighting fate. Going cashless was told 2000 years ago. We'll soon enough be forced to have a mark on the right hand or forehead and can only buy or sell with it. Nothing will stop this happening.
Glad someone else can see this. Decades ago in church, we agreed society would have to go cashless first before the Revelations 13:16-18 could be fulfilled.
A cashless society would be a disaster, more people would be in debt to start with. Cash has character, a plastic card doesn't. People will lose their independence without cash, you have less control with a credit card.
What do you expect when 8 major Aussie banks main shareholders are Blackrock and Vanguard
How many times have banks gone off-line or ATM'S been out of order or the lines drop out at the store counter refusing payment. Cashless is only to give total control to authorities that should have no interest unless a crime is being committed
Goodbye to all garage sales and markets
Look at UBER not only can they see what you buy but they also make you rate other free citizens . If that's not the start of a social credit score I'm as dumb as Anyway Albo. How the fuck did he get in buy the way?
Time and place for both systems. I own a business and anything business I pay with card and everything personal is cash where possible.
Looks like we might have to go back to bartering. This is coming around a bit quickly and without warning. Sounds illegal to me to do this without any notice
@kjmax1068-the whole bloody system they want to introduce is illegal!!!!!.
Cash is King.
Google decided I wasn't allowed to use Google Pay recently... Because my phone is allegedly insecure. So Google gets to decide how, where and what I can spend MY money on using MY phone.
This is where we go if we go cashless. The big companies get to decide what we can spend money on. MasterCard has already done this when they demanded PayPal block certain users, and told a few banks to close some customers accounts.
Cashless ultimately means Visa and MasterCard are able to decide if you're a human or not.
It is "Cash only week", and while we always use mainly cash, this week, we're using it exclusively.
Been saying it for yrs go cashless and there goes your freedom!!!!!
Currently laws forbids refusing cash or receiving it as it is classified legal tender .
Why is it then, when I go into a certain fastener shop, since the start of the pandemic, they are now allowed to refuse my cash payment? Have a look at the law. Apparently, the Federal Parliament made changes in early - mid 2020 to allow cash payments to be refused. So, all of us may need to have a serious talk with our elected representatives.
The end of the garage sale, the weekend market stall, kids pocket money, extra cost for an item when you pay with a card. It will be total control over every cent you spend.
It's not just a symbol of freedom... it is our last hope of freedom.
Cryptography to the rescue! Bitcoin since 2009, Monero since 2014.
Tried get usual cash out as I dont use cards if poss. Got 3rd degree and had to go to manager and eventually got it. It's mine isn't it?
Look at what happened to the funds raised for the Canadian truckers during the so called pandemic!!! Millions of dollars were frozen for not only the raised amount but also personal accounts were frozen too… what could that mean for any individual person who has a voice of decent against the government? Will they do that to you because you have a different opinion? Dangerous ground’s people, and with how honest our governments have shown themselves to be would you seriously trust them again?
We pay for everything with cash, except Drs, Dentist & Chemist. We also don't use self serve at the supermarket or anywhere for that matter.
Use it or lose it
They dont want rid of it for your benefit
I can't get paid in cash it has to go into a bank account. Freedom was lost a long time ago.
I am disabled. I have to get lifts from people, have my plants watered, spur of the moment help lifting.
With cash I can give them £10 as a gift.
People are going to be uncomfortable writing down their account number.
use cash always, use it or lose it
I signed on for that yesterday. I only go to the bank if theres a problem because they moved away last year so now i visit the Precinct atm instead. We did have two atms at our shops, but one has been having new tiling done since the beginning of the year. The post office lady said it was supposed to be finished by the end of April. Its still blocked off.
Inspiration!
Not sure what the rest of the country is like but in WA I recently tried to locate a Commonwealth Bank Machine in my area, only to note that they are now few and far between. The closest one to me was 4.5 km away and when I located the device it was not a Commonwealth supplied unit.
This unit wanted to charge me an additional $3.00 to draw my own cash.
No wonder the banks manage to make so much profit each year having close branches, removed automatic banking machines and to add insult to injury apply an additional charge via subsidiary banking machines when you try to access your own cash.
WA here. Banks are restricting access to cash where I am too. What I was doing for a while was getting cash out from the supermarket when I shopped. I prefer cash always. I still wasn't happy with this arrangement, especially if I was told no cash out today. So I now detour to take cash out of my bank ATM.
so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 😈😈👿👿
And this is exactly the reason why there is a push to go cashless.
If they want to go cashless, then they have to compensate people for any stuff ups with the banking systems that arise. Cause many times there are issues and they apologise but nothing is corrected and then people just have to wait to fix it. If no cash option people are stuck, they can’t pay rent or bills and then they incur fees. So whoever makes the mistake should compensate.
Like when my gas bill is late arriving in my post office and i have to pay full rate and not get my 15%off. Its not my fault but theres nothing they can do, they say. Which means they think im lying. Im probably a bit ok about the government getting rid of gas. Just i need two new appliances.
Andrew, In some countries Banks have cancelled customers accounts because the customer objected to the Bank's support of Pride movement.
One Church of England minister was on UA-cam this morning & even the Treasurer is concerned about such a move for other than money-laundering etc. The BlackBelt Barrister had it on his podcast today. So keep up!!!! You could be next!!!!
Local shop owner told me that as of next week every eftpos transaction will cop a % fee charged by the banks.
