I would be careful to give the government too much credit. Bureaucrats and politicians are overwhelmingly retarded.

Basically just this. Instead of services requiring multiple kinds of ID verified through different agencies (Passport Office, BDM Registries, Road Departments, etc..), the new Digital ID scheme is intended to replace (more like supplement really, its entirely optional at the moment) all of those with a single point of failure system which will most definitely be targeted by hackers every single day of the week as it would make identity theft so unbelievably simple if implemented as proposed.Because this is Australia my man. All it seems to take to get into every database the government has is a fat slav in a tracksuit listening to Hardbass.
That's what's in the budget. After graft it'll be a shower curtain hung on a nail with a sign that says "DO NOT TOUCH".And of course, being an Australian Government service, its security will be equivalent to that of a door with a drilled out lock.
That's a feature, not a bug!a single point of failure system which will most definitely be targeted by hackers every single day of the week as it would make identity theft so unbelievably simple if implemented as proposed.
Rise in extremists who want to trigger 'race war' in Australia, ASIO warns
There has been a rise in activity from racist and nationalist extremists who want to spark a race war in Australia over the last year-and-a-half, the nation's top security agency has warned.
In a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into far-right extremism, ASIO said ideologically motivated violent extremists (IMVE) accounted for about a quarter of its priority counter-terrorism work.
"IMVE – particularly nationalist and racist violent extremism – remains a threat and its adherents will continue to engage in offensive behaviours," the security agency said in its submission.
"IMVE views persist, and adherents are weaving new issues into their conspiracy theories and anti-establishment views...
"Over the last 18 months, we have seen an uptick in the number of nationalist and racist violent extremists (NRVEs) advocating sabotage in private conversations both here and overseas.
"It is particularly pronounced among NRVE 'accelerationists' - meaning extremists who want to trigger a so-called 'race war'."
ASIO said many of those have been inspired by the Christchurch shooting of 2019, which was carried out by an Australian with racist, far-right views.
It also said the main threat from ideological extremists was from so-called lone wolf actors – like the Australian behind the Christchurch attack – and that racist and nationalist groups were more focused on recruitment rather than planning attacks at the moment.
"ASIO's biggest IMVE-related concern is the threat from lone actors who could move to violence without warning," it wrote.
"While we remain concerned about IMVE, we assess the vast majority of established nationalist and racist groups are more likely to focus on recruitment and radicalisation rather than attack planning in the foreseeable future."
ASIO also pointed to the risk posed by online forums in allowing for the radicalisation of extremists across the globe, particularly in the wake of increasing internet activity during the pandemic.
Unlike the inquiry it provided the submission to, the security agency steered clear of referring specifically to right-wing extremism.
"Threats are increasingly intersecting, emerging from new places and blurring traditional distinctions," it told the inquiry.
"To more accurately reflect the nature of the threat, ASIO moved away from using the terms right-wing extremism and left-wing extremism in 2021, and instead refers to two categories of politically motivated violence: religiously… and ideologically motivated violent extremism.
"Not every ideologically motivated extremist is automatically a left-wing or right-wing extremist.
"There is a cohort of individuals motivated by a hybrid of conspiracies, grievances and anti-authority beliefs. It is neither helpful nor accurate to assign these individuals a place on the political spectrum."
The inquiry is due to deliver its report by December 6.
awlroight well it doesn't bother me so I guess it's your problem.View attachment 5893942
No refunds.
If your referring to MyGovID I suspect its a way to have a central point to be able to streamline verification of identity documents as I understand currently government departments have to have complex privacy disclosure agreements with each other (federal and statewide if your including licenses) to be even be able to verify documents.Basically just this.

Two men have just spoken to Nine News about helping a baby and its mother who were both bleeding.
The pair, who indicated they were brothers, said they saw a man “run up to the woman with the baby”.
“We got them into the store ... rang for help,” one of the men said.
The men said the baby’s mother had been stabbed, and they were trying to compress the baby’s wounds, including using shirts from the shop.
On ABC they're saying that a little bub was stabbed.There has been a mass stabbing event at Bondi Junction. Reports of up to 6-10 people stabbed, one person shot (presumably by the police).
This is fucked
