Original: jim chalmers credit card fee ban

Treasurer Jim Chalmers' move to ban card surcharges is having an unexpected side effect: more Australians are reaching for cash again. As merchants adjust to the proposed crackdown on extra fees for card payments, some shoppers and businesses are reportedly reverting to physical money, sparking debate about the policy's unintended consequences for a cashless economy.

Why now: A newly announced or debated surcharge ban by the Treasurer is generating fresh discussion about its side effects on payment habits.
