Good work Pas Forgione : Anecdotal reports also suggest BasicsCard users face stigma and discrimination. Pas Forgione, who runs a campaign against income management in Playford, said that, in one case, a cashier asked a young person why they were buying steak, because it was too expensive. Another young man trying to buy a video game in Target was told to put it back. Mr Forgione said there were also special highly branded BasicsCard kiosks for people to view their balances, which humiliated users. The vast majority of Centrelink clients manage their money responsibly, Mr Forgione said. In Playford, what weve seen is that the people being put on income management are perfectly adept at managing their finances. abc.net.au/news/2014-08-31/welfare-recipients-skirting-around-income-management-rules/5708012
