How ACT s plan to restrict gang members benefits echoes Australia s Cashless Welfare Card Newshub 15 hrs ago © Image - Getty; Video - Newshub Watch the ACT Party s press conference in Wellington. ACT wants to restrict gang members from spending their benefit on alcohol, gambling and tobacco - a policy similar to one that s shown some success in Australia.  Ministry of Social Development data from 2016 shows nine out of every 10 gang members in New Zealand have received a benefit. ACT wants to protect their children from violence by controlling what they can spend that money on.  Gang members would receive their benefit in the form of an electronic card that would track and restrict spending on alcohol, gambling, and tobacco, says ACT MP Karen Chhour. The money provided by taxpayers will need to go towards food and other essentials.
