Outmoded money

Article Abstract:

In Australia, electronic transactions accounted for about 9 million payments per day in 1998. Consumers are putting more of their regular transactions, such as gas, electric and telephone bills on credit cards. And credit card companies are encouraging their use by rewarding customers with "loyalty" incentives. Smart cards will further alienate consumers from cash by their ability to store monetary value electronically.

Anti-Semitic attitudes persist in Australian business culture. Tape-recorded telephone conversations reveal a series of offensive remarks about Jewish mining magnate Joseph Gutnick and the Jewish community at a stockbroking firm. Some critics argue the tapes are harmless forms of banter with no serious social significance.
