Sky News host Liz Storer has urged Australians to continue withdrawing cash and keeping it in circulation instead of “opting for convenience”. Ms Storer’s remarks come after Bankwest announced it would be closing another three banks in a bid to go “almost solely digital”. “The banks are simply going, you know what – why would we bother when the people are voting with the feet,” she said. “If this isn’t a reminder – withdraw cash, use cash, keep it in circulation. “Because we all know certain people in our world have a very real agenda to just get rid of it all together and right now, we’re validating those decisions by opting for convenience.”
