My bank (of nearly 40 years !!) FROZE all my accounts without warning or discussion. I found myself in lengthy phone queues waiting to speak to people with foreign accents that didn't seem to care. It took over 8 hours on the phone, multiple branch visits, a letter and an ombudsmans (AFCA) complaint to resolve this in 6 days. I DID receive a compensation payment (to settle the AFCA complaint) for "inconvenience", but never a proper explanation WHY I was completely locked out and could not conduct ANY transaction. SIX DAYS!! Henceforth, I've made it a personal policy to use CASH ONLY. When something like this happens to YOU, you're going to get quite a shock 🙁
Instead of typing cash is king. We as a society need to put our foot down and say no. Literally if atleast half of Australia physically went to Parliment screaming cash is king Our government would freak out realising theres over 10 million people standing there ground. But hey thats dream land we are all to brainwashed and scared by our government to do such a thing…..
Cash is part of Australia's culture. Tourists see our beautiful money which is unique to Australia.
The beauty of paper notes should never be phased out.
Paper notes are beautiful and I love see to see the cash notes of other countries.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Cash is king, dont let the banks screw you.
Cash is legal tender and should stay. Those who say you have to go find a ATM to get cash out as a reason for not having it are lazy. I have been paying in cash all my life I am 54 years old. I budget my money which is what cash teaches you, and I dont pay fees for using a card.
This just happened to me alot in bridgetown and surrounding areas IGA refused me cash payments and then added a fee for using my card .absolute robbery in austraki
Legal tender should not be refused at all. What happens when the bank has a bug they foegot about and no one has online access. Oh wait that happens already. 😊
Yeh when the plastic was down what did people need!!!!! CASH!!!!!!! We need CASH!!!,
Cash is trash! Can't trace it, used in illegal activities… Tax evasion and so on… Money spend to print money…
Cash will always be king in this unreliable digital world of constant outages.
it should be very simple. The Australian Legal Tender is the Australian Dollar in bank notes and coins. And everything for sale in Australia should be available for cash. Full stop.
I'm in the Melbourne airport domestic T3 and every shop here does not take cash, only card 😭😭😭 why?
Boycott any business that won't accept cash, simple!!
What happens when ATMs go down as usually happens or can't be used in emergencies like fires and floods?
It should be illegal for venues like the MCG ,pubs,clubs and restaurants to refuse cash.ESPECIALLY THE MCG!!!!
👍👍👍

It's horrible when you find yourself asking, "Do you take cash?"It's still legal tender
What happens when computers crash and you are at a checkout in a supermarket, if you have cash you can continue and leave the supermarket with your purchases
Young people can't do maths as in count the money even though the total is done for them
