This means a percentage of a person's social security payments is restricted to buying essential items—usually through a BasicsCard—rather than being received as cash. This measure was part of the Northern Territory Emergency Response.\n\n**How long it lasted:** This declaration applied from 13 October 2008 until 3 October 2009."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-32-determinatio","history":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-32-determinatio/history","analysis":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-32-determinatio/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-32-determinatio/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-32-determinatio/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-32-determinatio/documents"}}
