## Resource

Labor’s shocking U-turn extends compulsory income management until 2033 — breaking their 2022 promise to scrap it — leaving 30,000 NT residents trapped in a system critics call discriminatory and harmful. Despite claiming they fulfilled their pledge by ditching the Cashless Debit Card, they’re now keeping the BasicsCard alive, blocking essentials like tobacco and alcohol. Aboriginal groups, human rights advocates, and experts warn of devastating impacts on health, education, and dignity — yet Labor voted against ending the policy. With no opt-out and no real consultation, this move deepens inequality and ignores calls for Aboriginal-led reform.
