A protest is scheduled in the Federal region of Hinker against debit cards, which control payments received by those on welfare.
The program is currently in a trial phase to gather data about benefits of putting welfare receivers on managed income.
Locals are gathering in Hervey Bay on Sunday the 16th of June at Boat Harbour Drive to protest against the planned roll out of the trial program in the region.
Organisers claim that it violates human rights, and causes suffering and humiliation for those put on the program.
