- Federal MP Bob Katter has criticised a cafe after the MP was denied the ability to pay cash when buying lunch in Parliament House.
“She [the cashier] said, ‘we don’t accept cash’ and I said ‘well too bad for you, you have to, it’s legal tender and it’s illegal for you not to take cash’,” he told Sky News Australia.
“We’ve had a lot of anti-cashless rallies in north Queensland … it’s quite right we start the fight against cashless society; if you have a cashless society, the banks control your life.
“You can’t buy a loaf of bread without permission from the banks.”
"If you have a cashless society, you're in big trouble."
Thank You Bob Katter. Cashless is only going to harm us further.
And take increasing fees
I use cash to avoid my wife peeping Tom's habits.. 😁😊..
Wait till ALL shops have robot anti-theft TORI ! Invent-tori... Taking MORE of our jobs, yet expecting everyone to work?!
Queensland rail refuse cash, they quote the legislation to you, they reserve the right to refuse cash, I kid you not
Finally some politicians started talking against cashless system, we need to rally behind Bob Katter
Today I went to Woolworths I bought a few items so I took fifty dollars out to pay the cashier said we didn’t accept cash in the morning I said to her I have only this fifty, but when she opened her drew was full of cash.
Just walk off with the goods as they have refused payment with legal tender which means they have offered you it for free
@@lj3276 You leave the stuff on the counter and say shuff it. If people did that, I have, they will change.
@@sallycent6598 what a lying dog
@@vivrowe2763 That's the way to stop that dead
Cash is King, always was, always will be.
No it's going digital and fast. Total control.
Use it or lose it.
Not when it's scrip. And gift vouchers are scrip-based, not cash based, so at times don't need to be honoured.
@@vivrowe2763Not uness they want civil unrest.
@@vivrowe2763 When people ENCOURAGE digital by USING it ... use cash and keep cash around much longer !
Bloody well said Bob. Finally a politician calling out this cashless society BS!
we need to rally behind Bob Katter
He's a froot loop but he's OUR froot loop and we absolutely need to back this bloke. Cheers.
Thank you Bob Katter for highlighting this important issue!! Continue to speak truth to power for the Australian people!
Cash is legal tender, good on you Bob. I use cash all the time now, I won't be controlled by the banks. My financial status is my business no one elses.
That’s Ultra Mega MAGA
I use cash mostly. A few bills I pay on-line.
Exactly!
We pensioners can't really afford to pay for everything by card!
Same here. Cash mostly, like 95%. Some stores, like CVS don't accept cash. Use CC for gas, online purchases.
Bob is a legend, good on him.
in order to make this work, we all need to use cash more often
Been saying that for 4 years what the banks were doing, but called names.
@@vivrowe2763When people call you names you know your view is right.
People would use logic or politely agree to differ otherwise.
Everyone reading this, keep using cash. It will go eventually because young people are slack and hate cash and they will make up the bulk of the population one day, but keep using it guys, keep it going, don't slack off.
Sadly, most of the people that I encounter only using a card, or (shudder) their smart phone, all tend to be NARCISSISTS anyway! Cos when their tech DOESN'T work, & I start to complain they are taking too LONG for the rest of us in the queue, they go mental!
That's a narc!
@@ossiebalboa5617 I gave a young girl at the counter $20.45 for a $6.45 sale a few weeks ago man she was stuffed she even asked me what's the 45c for. For the life of her she could not work it out I had to tell her you need to give me back $14.00. She handed me back $14.00 but she looked like she was thinking I was trying to scam her.
Go bob
Love the Bob Katter he is for the people in every way go Bob!
Big fees apply to tap , cash is free to use and must remain to trade for goods or services , wake up people and stop paying to be lazy.
We don’t see a problem 👉🏻😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
Me👉🏻🤦🏻♂️
too right.
I'm in small business and only take cash, that's right, no eftpos at all
@billy, are you a tipple jabbed 🤡, soon to get myocarditis?
I told the airline I used to work for that it was illegal to go cashless. - I was ignored, and dreaded the thought of a passenger querying it on a flight. The reason our currency has pictures of The Queen and King, and Australian scenes and legends on them is that they are an order to accept our currency as legal tender for goods and services. - I don't purchase anything on aircraft now. - Their loss.
DON'T tap then! Insert & PIN! I have 1 debit card, I disabled tap in case I lose it. NO1 can use it without the PIN! I never keep more than $10 on it anyway!
Good on you Bob👍
Laura please pay attention when your guests are speaking. Bob, well done. WE ARE NOT GOING CASHLESS.
Don't mock with your expression ....watch Credlin and learn
We will be if it is left to the governments.
We are going cashless, like it or not.
Invest in gold and silver while you still can.
Just another stupid so called journalist
Laura needs to engage with her guest. She looked bored shitless and showing lack of respect to Bob Katter. Not a good look young lady. Try to be more professional in the future.
we need a Post Office savings bank which MUST provide all basic cash point services
THE LNP CRUSHED CHRISTINE HOLGATE'S ATTEMPT TO DO JUST THAT
Thank Morrison and co.
🙌🏼
You can do basic banking at most Post Offices, with 3 of the major banks.
Good on you Bob
Cash is king. Katter is the king of common sense. A cashless society will be dysfunctional when we have more blackouts due to renewable scam failure. Cash must be maintained.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Scams are already left right and center!
Blackouts will be an issue but far bigger is the invasion of privacy and control they want.
We need to become MORE like Asia! (Without the tinpot govts & institutionalised corruption!)
The saying cash is king is because cash allows you to avoid income tax. Stop using the saying wrong. This is the reason why people think blood is thicker than water is the saying when it's actually the opposite
It’s a valid currency!! They’ve got NO RIGHT to reject it!!
they do have a right
My Swedish kronor is also a valid currency. I doubt it will buy me a cup of coffee in Melbourne.
@@JanBruunAndersenonly if the barrister's a coin collector.
Go Bob, sort out that puppet castle.
Mad Katter is the biggest muppet of them all, with his comically oversized cowboy hat, and his Swedish chef hand gestures 😂 He’s not wrong about cash, not at all. But he’s a ridiculous character, mad as a cut snake
@@kermitthehermit9588 His comical character is his own demise.
It will be a sad day indeed when people like Bob retires
I agree with. Bob Katter.
I often don't, but on this issue regarding cash - I do
I do but I don't. Read up on contract law.
Stick it up the government Bob someone has to do something. We don't want no cash please stop them
Yes, next time you and I dine at the parliamentary cafe, we can pay cash. Good ol' Katter, protecting our civil rights.
If you don't want the cash pass it this way
Good on you Bob.
When you use cash, your $50 has a value of $50. Every time you tap your EFTPOS card, bank gets a few cents from you. No wonder banks churn up so much profit.
Yep and every time that money is spent it reduces and so on until the $50 is fully transferred back to the cartel. $50 > $49 > $48 > $47.... 0
It is the intermediately bank (the system that joins all the merchants together) that profits the most. The merchants only make small percentage of the fee.
He Dead right. COMMONWEALTH Bank Charged Me $3 for a Withdrawal when the ATM was OUT. I was OUTRAGED. CHARGED to Get MY OWN Money. People will be STUFFED if We Dont Fight Back.
A while back $2 to check balance only?
Keep the cash or we are screwed they will control eveything in your savings account.
Indeed like that communist tyrant Trudeau did to the protesting truckers.
And so he should fire up !!!
We are a cash based society and last time I checked it was legal tender ….
I guess if an establishment refuses cash then it’s free as that’s all I use.
It is all about control
It is all about convenience
@@gibbonsdp you believe that 😂

Onya Bob. I'm sick of cashless shops. I make it a point to use cash as much as possible to avoid merchant fees.
my shop only takes CASH
@@claytonleslie You MUST be Asian! ;o)
They are all narcs!
Cashless , all good till the power goes out.
Or the telcos!
Its legal tender so they have no right not to accept....
And I agree..f the banks
Please show me where business's have to accept the legal tender.
@@gregharding7329 Section 36 of the Reserve Bank Act 1959 (Cth) provides that Australian banknotes are legal tender throughout the country. Whereas it's section 16 of the Currency Act 1965 (Cth) that gives legal tender status to Australian coins.
A business can choose whatever payment they like, But it must be clearly stated.
The last bit is why they break the law, Because a lot don't tell you until it's too late right at the last minute when you buy something.
@@ShaneMcGrath. Correct! This needs to be amended!
@@ShaneMcGrath.they always do have a sign that says that they don't accept cash though?
they do have a right to not accept it, fuck you
Cash represents physical value as Bob said, no electricity no transactions and then a finance problem occurs you have to fight to get it fixed and going by the amount of bad bank stories that end up on the current affairs programes in a cash system imagine the number of stories when your electronic cash value disappears. Also big business currently does not rate well in the security of their customers information and their response to breeches does not pass the pub test . I do use CASH and current electronic monetary systems but the bottom line cash is there for me when the power is out and it is almost impossible to counterfeit Aussie notes.
From the ACCC website quote " Businesses can choose which payment types they accept. It is legal for a business to specify the terms and conditions that they will supply goods and services. This includes whether they will accept cash payment. However, consumers must be made aware of these terms and conditions before they make a purchase.
Businesses should be clear and upfront about the types of payments they accept, and the total minimum price payable for their goods and services". Having posted this Bob, I agreed with you 100%. Take away cash and you could take away an individuals right to live in society. We have reached and exceeded 1984 type control over our lives by big brother.
You are 100% Correct. Those businesses that don't accept cash also, miraculously, start accepting it when the power/internet/mobile networks go down. That is when customers should insist they accept electronic payment or simply walk away with the goods.
Correct ! My first re-action is I will take my business elsewhere !!!
That is my understanding as well. I am more than happy not to give my business to companies that will not accept the legal tender of Australia.
Wont be able to buy or sell without the Mark, you cant make this stuff up.
DIGITAL ID = HUMAN BAR CODE
Yep the Beast system. Donald Trump will stop this evil if he’s elected president. That’s one reason the establishment is doing everything they can to stop him from becoming president again.
Power goes out you don't eat
Bob Is right
No he's not.
@Jason-gj1pu
Yes he is of course Bob's right everyone knows Bob's right now perhaps you should stay in Davos eating Bugs
@peterlederer3896 keep on reading those john coleman books.

@peterlederer3896 you put a lot of work into that, enjoy your nasty hate filled life.
Every time you flash your card to buy something you are building your future electronic prison.
BINGO!!!
So true ! and helping the government and banks get richer !!!
it's also easier to keep track of how much you spend with cash!!
Good on you Bob. One of the few politicians who actually stand up for people.
Watch the crime rate go up tenfold if we go cashless. This is scary business
Oh yeah, houses will be robbed for food.
You are I believe 100% correct.
Agree ! Goods will become more traded !
Imagine the mayhem in the drug trade.
I reckon gift cards will replace cash in the drug trade.
@@vivrowe2763food? You think druggies will go after food?
Government would love to get everyone on digital currency, because it would give them a huge amount of added control. You do something they dont like, they shut your ability to purchase in one single click of the button.
Ultimate big brother !!! There will be nothing you buy that can not be tracked !!!!
100% per cent right that’s what they want to control you,jump or you cant get money for a month
As my pay HAS to go into a bank, I just withdraw most of it in cash. If a shop doesn't accept cash, which they have to unless it is written somewhere in plain view of the customers, I will go somewhere else. Shops like that don't deserve my money!
One of them is Krispy cream donuts place,I left the shop and never going again
@@Antonio-uw6ueanother one is Nando’s takeaway chicken.
I do the same.
@@Antonio-uw6ueit’s better for your health also. Donuts are the absolute worst food to eat. They are deep fried in rubbish oil like vegetable or canola oil have processed white flour and covered in tons of sugar. I think it’s Dr Berg on CZcams who says this. You’re somewhat better off buying a lean beef burger without the fries or bbq chicken at least which both are not deep fried in in highly processed oils which are reheated over and over. The only healthy oil to have is extra virgin olive oil that hasn’t been heated at very high temperature.
Miss Maud avoid
well done bob, you are right mate
Good on you Bob...you're one of the very few good politicians left in this country.
Good on you Bob. Keep up the fight. We only have few of your kind around.
Remember when Malcolm Turnbull as PM, was struggling for incentive and he focused on "innovation"?
His "innovative" incentive spawned a new design for the five dollar note.
"What good is a five dollar note good for, except buying a cup of coffee?", I wondered.
It now seems that no longer applies in Parliament House....
For those of us living in Tropical Queensland, the reality is that electricity supply is very vulnerable. No power and we suffer. In South Townsville, the power went off at 7pm Thursday 25 January and we sweltered with no cooking, no fans, no refrigeration, no NBN, no cashless transactions, etc., until power came back on the Sunday afternoon. It was an Australia Day to remember and ponder just how stupid the current ALP government is.
The ALP government turned your power off? State or federal?
If you reject legal tender you should be prosecuted.
BOB KATTER thank you sir,remove the big overseas shareholders in the banks,,they need more scrutiny by the people
A law needs to be passed banning a cashless society and making it legal tender everywhere, not to be refused.
A law needs to be passed banning the government from controlling what kind of payment a PRIVATE company/shop is required to accept.
@@JanBruunAndersen and all level of government departments
It's Australian tender it has to be accepted otherwise it's illegal being Australian tender
Good onya Bob! Don't let the cashless crazies tell you they wont accept cash! They have to! It's the law!
It's hard to believe that a cafe in our federal parliament refused the legal tender issued by the federal government that sits in that parliament.
The reserve bank is a private entity.
@@vectorequilibrium4493 "The Reserve Bank of Australia is a body corporate wholly owned by the Commonwealth of Australia." (www.rba.gov.au) Any further questions?
Technically it’s the reserve bank that issues our currency not the government.

@@runnyhunny786 I do pay cash, AND am critical of those paying with a card, making it loud and clear my transactions are NOT tracked while theirs definitely are, and it will come back to haunt them.
Well done Bob!
Thank you Bob Katter. Australia must get out of it's slumber. This is worldwide. We are on a precipice.
I been using cash only for over 3 years now!
As soon as my wage goes into the bank I redraw everything but $10.00 & use cash to buy everything, any cash left over I put into our safe.
Wake up Australia, keep using cash & start using cash for everything!
Bob Kater is spot on with all his comments,all about control!
The floods in New Zealand East coast showed just how dangerous a cashless society is__ massive power outages for extended periods.
Cash is an essential part of our economy. The elites who want to get rid of cash are motivated by wanting ever more control.
Where I live in Sydney, there were times when we couldn’t buy anything from the local shops, because there were blackouts . They couldn’t even use their cash registers, let alone take cash.
Going cashless is insanity
The problem is more and more of us have stopped using cash as the convenience of QR is fast and easy. In other words it’s our fault.
Wrong thing to say on a Sky channel. It's _always_ somebody else's fault.
It cost you less to use cash !!
Use it or lose it
Still time to corrected ,so why you not start today to use cash
Had a key cut the other day - $5 - no big deal. Gave the owner/manager a $5 note and all is well. If I paid him with a card, another 1.77% charge automatically applies to Visa and MasterCard (3% to other cards). This was posted on the front door, the counter and the wall behind the counter along with several signs proclaiming 'We happily accept cash'. After engaging him in a discussion, he revealed that two weeks per year of his income is guzzled up in bank charges which is why he now charges the customer rather than himself.
That seems to violate the Currency Act 1965 (section 16)

We have a "PRIM" Minister who is intermittent with the TRUTH
you mean a duck head?
No cash…no business from me
So You Spend $50, it Changes Hands 10 Times and It is Still Worth $50, You Do that with Your Card and its Worth $75 With Fee's ? On'ya Bob !
It should be law that cash cannot be rejected.
It is law
Cash is always the go people are to blind to see
Bob Katter has never made more sense. - Young Australians have to fight the move to a cashless society as well. - You are being conned, guys. - Get hold of some cash, and use it. 💵 You won't believe how many rights are taken away from you if you don't. - Don't make the mistake of thinking this is all about old people - it's about YOU, and YOUR future rights.
If cash is deleted all freedom will go very quickly after...
Well said.
Freedom is pinned to cash.
Thank you Bob. I'll back any campaign to fight this nefarious total control mechanism.
If they don't take your money walk away! And why does it take a politician to get all this attention when this is happening with people everyday and the media doesn't seem interested in them?
That isn't a small victory Bob that is what people face on a day to day. Bank (WEF) rules have surpassed actual sovereign laws. Who do we kick out, the banks or the government?
Well said Bob 👍🏻we must reject going cashless. Imagine not being able to buy food for your families when everything crashes as Bob described ? They want to have total control over your finances, and if you disagree with these elites then they will turn the tap off and you won’t be able to pay your bills. Wake up Australia.
ONLY MINDLESS DRONES WOULD FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DANGER OF DIGITAL TOKENS & THE ABOLITION OF CASH.

Perhaps our politicians could lead by example and not usher in by stealth a cashless society. If your politicians that you 🫵 voted for don't use cash at the Hill stop voting for them.
Only 13% of transactions in Australia are cash. Start uaing it more before they sya the market decided. Make at least 30% of your transactions in cash!
Many politicians won't care who's got money or not! Many politicians are multi-millionaires..... just look at the current government, there are a number of multi-millionaires, Greasy-Albo, Bowen, Burney to name a few.
They don't give a damn about the Australian people.
Bring back the gold standard!
Here here
Indeed. With gold governments can’t print money and that will be the end of inflation.
I'm sorry Bob, as much as I agree with you current legislation allows businesses to refuse cash - providing they have adequate signage prior to the point of sale. The 'legal tender' argument no longer holds water. If you want a cash guarantee like all of us sensible people then you need to actively enact legislation that makes it unlawful to refuse cash.
It is the Law you can't refuse legal tender
Total rubbish! They have to accept cash by law!
You👉🏻😷
@@billybloggs3214
Likewise
If a business has a sign that say they can not take cash ! Advise them you will take you business elsewhere ! Many businesses love cash. It save them money and no credit card costs ! Cash speaks many languages ! Try travelling around overseas without some cash on you ! Sure its convenient to wave your card each time you make a payment, but not that convenient when the system goes down, or your card is not working properly ! ! The only people that really benefit from the cashless society is the government and the banks.
Well done Bob.
Absolutely right.
No to a cashless society.
We need a people’s bank now.
WELCOME TO THE PARTY BOB Politicians are so ignorant to the working life
The talking head was pulling faces against Bob Katter, she obviously considers herself a know everything elite.
Thanks Bob 👍
Every business on Australian soil should accept cash.
Just happened to me at hospital. I had to fast for testing, after test i went to the hospital cafeteria and loaded my tray up, i was starving, got to the register to pay and tried to use cash. They only want a card.... I'm approaching 70 and I've never needed s card for anything before. I turned around and tried to unload my tray and was told i couldn't.
Needless to say i had a free breakfast that morning...
Sign of a spine after all
Thanks for standing up for us Bob. I’m a self employed carpenter from Victoria. Spent 10 years in your beautiful state working all over cape York. I am working class yobbo bloke. Like many of us. We feel not many politicians are looking after us, or this great country. Thanks again Bob.
If the contractor doesn't want to accept cash perhaps we can find another contractor who does.

Bob knows better than to say Banks control your life in a cashless society ... The government miss out on criminal transactions , and corporate off-shore discrepancies ... Remember what the Canadian government did to the Truckers strike ???
Just because you can state as a business what payment method you prefer, doesn't mean costumers with only cash can be discriminated against. To right it a legal form of tender! Wait until another electronic blackout, them cash will be immensely appreciated

I’m gonna use that one next time a shop refuses to accept cash! Recently a shop said to me, only if you’ve got exact money, we don’t give change! WT actual??
I actually had a look at this some time back. There is an amendment in the act (snuck in no doubt) that says a business does not "have" to accept cash as long as they advertise it plainly in visible sight. So, you can't actually claim that they have to accept cash. Too late, they already changed the rules while you weren't looking.
Tell Bob.
Most pubs and clubs do not accept cash in Canberra.
As far as I'm concerned, cash is legal tender it should be an offence not to accept cash.
It is.
@bertsrig6153 no it isn't, if it was they'd be prosecuted by now.
It should take a referendum to take away our legal tender … not just to make us “ safer “
I lived in Dunoon near Lismore during the 1993 flood. Up in the hills out of flood area BUT we were cut off. No atm or fuel or deliveries to shop. Nothing worked. We needed cash to buy anything!
