South Australians who are concerned about the impact that the expansion of the cashless welfare card will have on communities—not just in Ceduna but around the country—will be disgusted tonight to find out that the member for Mayo and Senator Stirling Griff, Centre Alliance, have done a deal with the government at their expense. South Australians who believed that this political party would tell the truth, would stand up to the government of the day, would hold them to account have, sadly, just been let down. And this party doesn't even have the guts to come in and say what it is that it is going to do. Centre Alliance tonight have shown that they are gutless, that they're up for pathetic deals with the Morrison government and that they simply cannot be trusted.
