Friends, I have a question. Does Australia have a regulation that magnetic stripe cards cannot be used and chip cards must be used ?

Most places can be used, with more chips. Some self-service ticket buying places can't use magnetic stripes, no swipe.

Australia is much backward than us, although they invented WIFI, it's not a problem to use.

I just went to Australia two weeks ago. I didn't go to the bank, but I could swipe magnetic stripes at supermarkets and gas stations. The only time was when I stayed at a booking accommodation. The landlord took out a card reader that could only read chip cards. Fortunately, I had a lot of cash, so I gave him cash.
