          Two million Australians will have the coronavirus tracing app on their phones tonight but a top former digital agency public servant won't download it because of the government's track record with people's data.

          Professor Lesley Seebeck, the former Digital Transformation Agency chief investment and advisory officer who is now the head of the Australian National University Cyber Institute, said the government had a history of grabbing as much data as it could under technology and security laws.

          "I am concerned because once these things are taken you don't get them back," Professor Seebeck said. "The government does not have a record of rolling any of these things back."

          And others could post articles by similar experts that have downloaded it and feel it is safe.

          I really don't think this is a discussion for WOOF. I like that this is a site free from political arguments and the like. I also feel that calling people silly that have a different opinion to your own is poor form and not necessary on here.

            I like it when I see people posting their complaints about privacy on an app like Facebook.
            Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                  You are an arbiter of what is appropriate on this general discussion thread about CV? My post was party political?

                  Did you take exception to the Trump posts on previous pages? Must have missed that.

                        Luckily I gave them your details.

                        You have a nasty tax bill coming your way. And medicare thinks you have some nasty diseases.

                          Nope, just my opinion. I don't really wish to see that kind of stuff on here, if everybody else is happy for this forum to head down that path then so be it.

                          However questioning peoples intelligence for taking a different view has no place on here.

                          Just my view - discussing the merits of the Covid app - fine. Starting with a clear agenda and demeaning others with a different view - not fine.

                          I like this place, it's a safe haven from the absolute cesspool that is the larger online world and I will attempt to preserve it.

                            Thats probably the best argument I have seen to download it so far.

                                I am in a drug rehab facility at the moment and I've just been tested for Covis-19. Believe me you don't want to do it...
