    I’m a Brit rather than a Aussie but im in that age range and use virtually entirely cash, easier for budgeting, better for privacy concerns & IMO its a element of use it or lose it. I have no doubt that various groups in various governments would like nothing better than to get rid of cash for surveillance reasons.

      Yes, not to mention corporate groups too (banks, online purchasing, loyalty cards, … ).
