Reports of the death of cash are greatly exaggerated as they have been on all previous occasions . Seven years, you reckon? Not 6years and 11 months? No more imbecilic a statistic than the percentages allocated to cash users etc. in the article however (cannot locate source but interested to know how many tradies were surveyed (Real number, please)

This drive would originate from government t, not banks, as they seek control and revenue and follow China's playbook and the government do not often cover themselves in glory when they get complete control of our money.

Handbag theft is appalling and traumatising enough when the miscreant gets one's cash but if they take the loaded phone as well it becomes a disaster and the possibility of having to trawl the dark Web and fight Medicare, banks, Home Affairs etc to prove who you are then looms.

A sharp introduction to the digital age indeed.
