Damn. But, this is promising if accurate:

"These amendments include protections to ensure the scheme is genuinely voluntary, so people can still use paper documents, and a requirement to report on any law enforcement access to parliament. Deactivated digital IDs will not be able to be reactivated without consent and there will be strengthened oversight to ensure personal information is not retained."

There is no civil nor criminal penalties for breaches which means the “voluntary” language is nonsense.

Digital ID in Australia will be as voluntary as jabs were.

This legislation is the signal. Time to pack it up bro

lol.... the moment you complain you will be de-personned.

It'll become the new masks. "What are you an anti-IDer?!"
