    Ummmm… They just did? https://ministers.treasury.gov.au/ministers/jim-chalmers-2022/media-releases/ending-card-surcharges-help-cost-living

    It’ll make everything more expensive but hey, no surcharge 😕

      It won’t take effect until later this year. I’m talking about the time between now and when it takes effect.
