This meant the government automatically quarantined a portion of their money onto a special card (like the BasicsCard) that could only be spent on essential items such as food, clothing, and rent—not on alcohol, tobacco, or gambling.\n\n**Context:**\nThis was part of the 2007 Northern Territory Emergency Response (often called 'the Intervention'), a package of measures targeting Aboriginal communities in the NT. This particular determination was temporary and expired on 19 December 2008.\n\n**Who made it:**\nThe Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs made this declaration under powers in the *Social Security (Administration) Act 1999*."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-beswick-determination-2007","history":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-beswick-determination-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-beswick-determination-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-beswick-determination-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-beswick-determination-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-beswick-determination-2007/documents"}}
