What is the relationship between the first two trials of the Cashless Debit Card (CDC) and Indigenous mobility? In Ceduna, Vincent conducted ethnographic research into lived experiences of the first CDC trial. In the East Kimberley, Klein conducted 51 structured interviews with people on the card and 37 semi‐structured interviews with key informants. Markham used regression analysis of net migration rates at the Statistical Area 2 level to determine whether the CDC trial sites were associated with greater net population loss in 2016 census data than comparable locations. Our exploratory study finds significant local talk of displacement arising from the introduction of the CDC, as well as discussion of short‐term trips away from the trial sites being made more difficult. The regression analysis found that the net migration rate was 9.3 per cent points (95% CI: 2.0, 16.5) lower in Ceduna, Wyndham and Kununurra when compared with a group of comparable towns, and 5.2 per cent points (95% CI: 0.9, 9.5) lower when compared with Australia as a whole, meaning that the populations of these towns declined faster than those of comparable towns. Policy effects on mobility should be taken seriously by researchers and policymakers when considering place‐based welfare policy.

“继续前进”？无现金借记卡和本地流动性的探索性研究

无现金借记卡（CDC）的前两次试验与原住民之间有什么关系？在塞杜纳（Ceduna），文森特（Vincent）进行了人种学研究，以了解CDC首次试验的现场经历。在东金伯利，克莱因对名片上的人员进行了51次结构化访谈，并对关键人物进行了37次半结构化访谈。万锦市在统计区域2级别使用净迁移率的回归分析来确定CDC试验地点与2016年人口普查数据相比与可比地点相比是否与更大的净人口流失相关。我们的探索性研究发现，由于引入了CDC，以及有关远离试验地点的短期旅行的讨论变得更加困难，在当地引起了很多关于流离失所的话题。回归分析发现净迁移率为9。与一组可比较的城镇相比，塞杜纳，温德姆和库努纳拉的房价降低了3％（95％CI：2.0、16.5），与澳大利亚相比，则降低了5.2％（95％CI：0.9、9.5）。总体而言，这意味着这些城镇的人口下降速度要快于同类城镇。研究人员和政策制定者在考虑基于场所的福利政策时应认真考虑政策对人员流动的影响。
