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.”

Yep exactly STAND UP we outnumber them, STOP THE ROT – SACK THE LOT!
Legal Tender is Legal Tender and must be accepted when offered as payment or renumeration for any goods and services that is the law of the land!
Both Labor and the Coalition are globalist shills. If you believe in democracy do not give them your vote.
We don't all get paid in unmarked envelops stuffed with pineapples…
Australia's Joe Biden.
I live where the internet is less than frequent, it’s not bumcracknowhere, it’s between Sydney and Canberra. Without cash there wouldn’t be a local economy and cheques are frequently used too.
Good one Bob. Spot on.
I thought it was for safety reasons.
If its not safe in a parliament cafe we are not doing well as a country
How easy do you think it will be for government to control what you spend, where you spend and how you spend and they can stop you spending at the tap of a key.
If you don’t think this can happen just look at what the Fourth Reich of Canada did with the truckers strike. They blocked the accounts of everyone who donated money of any size to the truckers.
Just look what they have done in the UK to people who have said things the banks diversity and inclusion department doesn’t like. They have block Christian ministers accounts, conservative groups accounts and more recently with Nigel Farage and Coutts bank.
A cashless society hands all the power to the banks and the Government to tell you what you can say or where you spend your money.
Yes BOB …people are in to much dept with credit and the banks want more … what if you miss place or have the card stolen I was told and it. is true that it will take 6—10 working days to replace ..What do i do in the. mean time ANZ couldn't answer me… !! GOD help you if you are overseas…
Control food & money and SNAP.
Cash is king keep it alive always use cash
Once we loose our cash the bank will tell you what to spend your money on , your transaction will simply decline and there will be nothing you can do about it ,you will only be able to purchase 1 carton of beer a week, 1 pkt cigarettes and so on,wake up people !
Banks are closing down branches everywhere making it hard for small businesses to access a float
Sorry Bob you are simply "wrong". A business can specify prior to contract that it will not accept cash and the goods or services must be paid for by card. The business could do this by way of prominent signage at the restaurant, or on the menu. If the business does not specify such terms and conditions then it must accept cash, as legal tender. It is not illegal for a vendor to say a method other than cash is required, for example parking meters no longer accept cash.
Hoorah hoorah
It ain’t happening no matter what we do. There is an end game to all of this and they won’t let any plebs stand in the way from further corrupting us. Buckle up you plebs, things are about to get very ugly very quickly. We are screwed
Unfortunately, Bob, they can refuse cash, but they need to have a sign telling you this.
Businesses have an obligation to accept legal tender unless an alternative means of purchase has been specified by verbal or written agreement.
By purchasing goods or services, you’re entering into such an agreement with the seller. A business can set the terms of the agreement prior to the purchase, including how payment will be made, including by putting a sign in the store about what kinds of payment methods will or won’t be accepted.
Therefore if you provide verbal or written notice prior to entering the contract with your customer, your business isn’t obliged to accept cash as a form of payment. And instead, you can state you’re only accepting cashless payments.
It’s not uncommon for some shops to display signs at their checkout or at the door to give customers adequate notice that they refuse cash payments.
It's not illegal to not take take cash. But it should be illegal for conspiratorial time wasting knuckle heads to be in parliament.
Hail Satan 👹👹WEF plan going splendidly as most still asleep and getting another booster..👹🤣💉🎻
My opinion.
I understand your stance Bob and the point you're trying to make but to extend the idea that the bank can control all of your spending because you might miss a mortgage payment, is a stretch.
Everything put up for sale is considered to be an, "offer to treatment".
Till there is a , meeting of minds. A contract for sale has not been made. If the seller decides they will only take an electronic payment and you only want to make a cash payment….the consensus ad idem has not been reached. They can refuse to sell you the product, regardless of notes and coins being legal tender.
So you could be in the supermarket and fill up your trolley and turn up at the check out and the store may say, sorry. i'm not selling this to you and you can't do a thing about it.
Think about putting a tennis racket for sale online for $50. Someone turns up and wants to hand pay you $50 via electronic transfer. You want to hide the sale for what ever reaason and say cash only. They say, "Nah, too much trouble to go to an atm". A consensus ad idem has not been arrived at, so the sale doesn't proceed. No different to any other sale, the buyer and seller have to agree on all terms to enable a sale to be made.
What I found unusual was Japan. A country where massive amount of electronic devices are made but they still love their cash.
It's almost odd to pay with a debit or credit cards over there.
The day you give up using cash is the day you are officially financially enslaved and controlled. Do the wrong thing or piss off the wrong people and they can just stop your ability to use your finances. Im young a gen z and this shit needs to stop and stop fast. Im afraid a cashless society is already here so… SAVE CASH!!!!! CASH IS KING CASH IS FREEDOM!!!!!
The next WEF will sort that
One of the few Australian politicians worth listening to
Laura I found your interviewing skills lacking
Don't let dictators control our money
Why does everyone in the meadia so stupid they want total control of our money
Good on him I’m a cash only – just remember they can profile your buying habits when you use your card- Australia go cash only
It was the same during Covid some shop would not accept cash, You think they would avoid that over all other virus that's out there the hysteria is over the top and do you see the very same people wear mask if that was the case which does nothing either.
this guy is talking out of his fucking ass. it is not illegal to not accept cash
The business has the right to specify the terms (and payment method) of a transaction, a sign must be clearly posted to be lawful.
Its like she thought he was bonkers and did not believe his argument at first.
