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).

    The myGovID app is compatible with most smart devices and is only available from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

    Does it work without Google play services? The NSW app doesn’t.

    I’m rather disgusted with the idea of Aus government being a serfdom of Google and Apple. Literally can’t access your own government ID without their permission and blessing. If Google or Apple disable your account then you can no longer access part of your government services.

    (I recently lost access to a Microsoft account, they didn’t think I was a real person, despite the account working fine for most of a year)
