![Senator Malarndirri McCarthy rightly called the BasicsCard "discriminatory and racist" when she condemned it during a senate debate in December 2020. She said:
"The hurt was palpable. The anger has never gone away. That sense of deep oppression, of racism, has gone on for 13 years since that Intervention, in the policy of the BasicsCard. [The community] are very passionate about the fact that income management that is forced upon them is unfair, is discriminatory and racist. The BasicsCard was imposed as an income management measure under the Northern Territory Intervention in 2007. Twelve years later there has been no evidence to show any success of the BasicsCard."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2452ncj5rptdxorbvjlrrkd2/bafkreihljm2de3j52zcdnbfhomcyohvaughsyesphenzmjjcgglsdt4zgy)
