By Ellen Whinnett Assoc Editor - The Australian 24 March 2023 Crime in Ceduna exploded after the abolition of the Cashless Debit Card, with new police numbers confirming the crime rate almost doubled in the South Australian town. South Australian police data show 111 offences were recorded in Ceduna – population 3000 – in January. This is almost double the number of offences being recorded monthly when the card, which quarantined 80 per cent of welfare payments for some vulnerable recipients – was abolished four months ago, and is almost triple the crime rate of the previous January.
