Community groups from the Western Australia Goldfields area are reporting people on the Cashless Debit Card are having their tax refunds placed onto the welfare management program.
The Facebook page, Ms Mental As Anything, claimed a Goldfields resident has had their tax return sent to the CDC program instead of their personal account, and is now planning a hunger strike.
Testimony shared by the Say No Seven group, including from the last senate inquiry, claimed the LNP have denied non-wealthfare payments and rebates would not be paid into the program.
