Ok, how do you know they will? And more to the point - why would they and what would they use the data for? Faceplant and Google do so they can target advertising at you and sell you more stuff, I really don;t think the government would want to start collecting and collating data about where all the great unwashed go everyday. And once the pandemic is over, the app gets deleted so what's all the fuss about?

As I said before - tin foil hat brigade or criminals would be the only ones worried as I can't see what the issues are even if they do.

Why is anyone who does not want to use this app some sort of retarded, tin foil hat, conspiracy theorist who doesn't know their left hand from their right?????

Who is right????

Who gives a ****!!!!!

I have a Mygov log in, probably like a large percentage of the population. To that is linked the ATO, Centrelink, Jobactive, DVA and Medicare. The only reason I have all this crap is because it has been surreptitiously thrust upon us by successive grubberments so they can cut their work force and wage bill. No point ringing these organisation you will be on hold for a week. Yes the grubberment have **** loads of information about me, hell I was even investigated by ASIO for a security clearance every 5 years (or was it 2 years?) when I was enlisted. I use facecrap and googble and lots of other apps on my phone and yes some of them use my location like the weather app.

I won't be downloading this app, because I don't trust the grubberment to do anything right, especially in such haste. I was part of a study in 1993 for the development of a new combat boot for issue to the Australian Army. I got my first pair of those boots when I was deployed in East Timor in early 2000 and they were garbage. Improvements were made, they weren't too bad about 5 years later.

So, do I trust the grubberment when they tell me that this app is safe when it is developed in about 6 weeks or even "borrowed" from somewhere else. HELL NO!!!! Do I trust a grubberment that suggests that this app is the only way to returning to some form of normal, no, that is just threats, intimidation and/or bribery. Do I believe that the (any) grubberment want to have greater control over the population, yes.

Call me a tin hat wearing prepper if you like I don't trust any politician of any persuasion. They are only in it for the money.

Big Brother is watching you. Covert surveillance of the citizens should never be permitted in a democracy. I class speed cameras in the category of covert surveillance. "We are watching you just in case you do something we, the government, don't like."

if your having trouble installing the ap , or if its asking for stuff it shouldn't be then you probably installing one of the fake aps going round.

I installed it on mine and my wifes phones no issues at all. had to fill out name (you can use a fake name) , age range , and phone number. the app asked for 2 permissions , I don't have a problem and I'm a conspiracy theorist if ever there was one.

Only a nutcase would have issues with the ap, or the security of the ap. Your on the internet FFS, your Govt already knows all about you & where you go. So what FFS , If your not adhering to social distancing then don't take your bloody phone to your right wing militia meetings , simple!

So from the results as of 19:00 30/04/2020 it can be concluded that:

Response 1, Definitely 51.67% of the population are sheep, doing exactly as they are told.

Response 2. Definitely not 25% of the population are fiol hat wearing conspiracy theorists.

Responses 3 & 4. Probably/ not 3.33% and 13.33% respectively can't make up their minds, the crisis will be behind us before they make a decision.

Response 5. No smartphone 3.33% of the population are Defender drivers.

Response 6. I can't do it, the tech is beyond me 3.33% there are still people who have Series as a daily drive.

Or perhaps ..................


Response 1. Definitely 51.67% of the population have an IQ >100 and have decided to 'choose life'

Response 2. Definitely not 25% of the population are Queenslanders

Responses 3 & 4. Probably/ not 16.66% can't make up their minds, and are either amoral politicians or Greens voters who are yet to decide what best serves their political ambitions or what is most politically correct

Response 5. No smartphone 3.33% of the population are Defender drivers.

Response 6. I can't do it, I'm one of the 3.33% of Australians who live in the 96.67% of the country that has crap mobile coverage


Deano

Oh dear Deano, did I hit a nerve or has the cool change got at you?
My post was made with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Is there an option for, 'This ap is incompatible with your device'?
