You're not wrong but how do you know this is just a bank run and not something more nefarious? After all, Australia has pulled some crappy shenanigans last few years from a globalist perspective....case in point....now yes it says you can still get cash from an ATM but not without your phone app.....this just sounds like they are starting to force you to go digital where they can track you
Cash transactions are unavailable at several branches

I just read the article you posted.
It's important you understand what they are doing....because this is happening here too.
This isn't because they are pushing a cashless society, it's because society is demanding different methods.
They aren't making all their banks cashless, what they are doing is making branches (sometimes converting existing branches) that focus more on opening/servicing accounts, business accounts, private banking (rich people) accounts where much of what they do can be digital or are otherwise not cash handling transactions.
Secondly, this is partially driven by technology. Bank Tellers are now getting paid in the ball park of $20/hour. If you were a business owner and you could have a very smart atm or pay ever increasing wages to employees that may or may not show up (and cost WAY more than their hourly wage)....what are you going to do?
They aren't killing cash....they are killing jobs.
Also, and maybe I missed it in the article, but I'm not seeing where this article supports that there is "no cash" in the bank.
As far as the atm.....you have to use your bank card (though yes you can use a bank card connected phone app instead of a bank card if you so choose). We've used bank cards for decades. It's how they attempt to identify that you are you. Thankfully they don't just hand YOUR money out to just anyone saying they are you.
