What the petition asks

Give the electorates a vote on whether to accept or reject the possibility of switching to a centralised digital banking system.
There is no need for a centralised digital banking system. The risks to the electorates security and costs to implement far outweigh any gains. It will not benefit the general public in any way whatsoever.
Provide full transparency on the future positive and negative consequences of switching to a centralised digital banking system.
