Media release: Digital ID scheme has so much promise but it’s up to Parliament to ensure social licence | Australian Greens

The move towards a credible and secure Digital ID has large potential privacy benefits if done well and clear risks if it is rushed or mishandled.

“So much promise”?!

Are Greens appeasing Labor in a secret deal? This support is out of character with their stance on privacy.

For instance, Greens were the only ones to push against the “Identify and Disrupt Bill” (which newspapers ignored in favour of “Freedom” March dramas).

    Since I use Ubuntu Touch, I’m a bit frustrated with the state of government apps only supporting Android and IOS. Recently managed to finally run Android apps on it, but they still don’t all work perfectly. I understand that it’s not something most people know about let alone use, but I fear that if any government app becomes essential that we lock in the existing duopoly, at least in Australia. At least if it was open source it could perhaps be ported over.
