    The government already has access to much more sensitive data about you than anything this app can collect. Since they already have so much specific, sensitive data, what do people think they are achieving by withholding this data? Unless you come in contact with someone who tests positive, then the government won't get any information at all.

    When I asked some time ago for someone to explain to me exactly how they thought their life would be impacted by the health authorities getting hold of the data the app collects, all I was offered was a (presumably hypothetical) story about your wife getting information about your mistress.

    I am still waiting for a specific example from someone about how their life will be affected. I can understand that if you are a drug dealer or an adulterer, you might be reluctant to respond. However, there must be some of us here who lead more mundane lives.
    My friend, there are some on this Forum, who despite ScoMo & his team giving Aussie pretty much the best protection from the Virus on the Planet, have yet to give him even ONE vote of confidence or appreciation, not even ONE, an examination of their posts will show the bias, the same applies to the App. Simply childish.
    I like my Politics too, Daniel Andrews has not been one of my favorites, but boy, have I changed my mind about him, He has really stood up for all Victorians. Give credit where credit is due is my motto, but obviously not to some.
    This Virus Is WAY above Poliitics IMHO, but again, a perusal of posts of SOME members will show that they are incapable of adopting such a stance.
    Regards, Pickles.

    Does the App actually work? 4 million signed up, and it is still not turned on.

    Well if you've done nothing wrong, you shouldn't have a worry. But the App is not secure.

    from where i have been sitting i thought it was plainly obvious that the federal goverment was dragged kicking and screaming into action by NSW and Vic goverments when they refused to do it the way the feds wanted it done and still are refusing to do it the way the feds want it done

    wish QLD was with them on a lot of things to be frank

    and when you consider they were all aware and were soundly warned in January, it all took way to long to occur even when it did

    what did you see or hear that i didn't ?

    This will be my last post in this thread because tbh I over the bullying.

    Just because someone chooses not to download this app they are childish, a nutcase or a ****ing moron! But we have a choice, we are given that choice. I have not seen anywhere in this thread where those choosing not to use the app have insulted or belittled those in the opposite camp. I'll correct myself there, in one post I did write "Only a nutcase would fully trust the government", which I think is a fair comment given the insults directed at myself and others.

    I have made a few post with, what I believe are legitimate concerns, but because I don't want to use this app I'm some sort paranoid delusional idiot. Fine whatever floats you boat.

    I am doing my part as I see fit and within the guidelines/rules/laws, to protect ME and MY family and in doing so I'm subsequently protecting others. As I have said, I don't need an app to tell me to stay the **** away from people, I'm pretty good at it.

    Just before I was put off at work when all this started and the pubs and eateries closed, the store I worked in remained open. The number of people that were "just browsing" was beyond comprehehsion. I felt like yelling at some of them to GO HOME!. I tried to maintain my distance but these tools just stepped forward, invading my personal space, I was kind of glad when the boss said there was no more work til further notice, I could go home stay safe.

    I have NO political persuasion!!! I don't believe ANY of my comments were one way or the other for or against the current government or any other political party. I made a comment about Scomo before he was PM but it was nothing that was not on many media outlets and was common knowledge.

    So if you believe I'm a nutcase, idiot, childish or just an out and out ****ing moron you can have that belief and I can have my choice about this ****ing app.

    This may put some people's mind at ease. It tells of the penalties for misuse. EDIT
