With the implementation of the abolition of the cashless debit card, and support for those people who would be on it and moving to other arrangements, we are looking for the smoothest opportunity for them to ensure that the transition is appropriate and that they are supported through it.

We have delivered on our commitment to abolish the cashless debit card, and last night I watched division after division with you lot trying to keep it in place. That's what happened last night, and that's what history will show. We will work with communities to make sure they are supported and treated with respect. (Time expired)
