Approximately 3800 previously active ATMs have been removed.
NSW alone now has 140 fewer in-store banks, and almost 300 suburbs don't have a singular ATM to withdraw cash.
In a modern-day digital world, an estimated 80 per cent of Aussies prefer to bank online.
But the remaining 20 per cent, namely the disabled or those who are not digital savvy, have been left stranded.
Their number of ATMs has reduced to just over 2000 - in 2019 there were 4118 ATM's in circulation.

The war on cash continues.
On to the Social Credit Score driven economy.
You will own no paper currency, and you will be happy!

Bitcoin is the digital equivalent to paper cash. It is crazy that some people think this was a provocative idea.
No Karen, we just want the green piece of cloth with Benjamin Franklin on it on the internet and a hard currency which is also something people tried to achieve for millenia with rare metals or funny looking shells. It's not provocative.

more like expirable ration coupons.
If you don't do what the government says you will get your "rations" reduced or cancelled.
Sounds like North Korea or more the prison system
