Quote:

The government also specified that conditionality will also be prohibited – in other words no one can be prejudiced or given preferential treatment whether they are running or not running the app.

Might want to keep a close eye on this part because there was a letter in yesterday's Sunday Times here in Perth where someone was suggesting that when entertainment venues (pubs, clubs, cinemas, etc.) eventually reopen, people should only be allowed inside if they have this app installed and running on their phones.

Because, I'm sure that a lot of people who read the letter yesterday will be busy right now spreading it around Australia on social media. Roll Eyes

This App is only good if everyone downloads it, but that won’t happen.
Because 3 reasons.
Some have older mobile phones (mine hubby and his old flip phone)
Some have no mobile phones. Particularly the elderly.
Some are concerned about privacy and whom you spend time with.

Reminds me of Microsoft when they keep boasting about how many people are using Windows 10.

Oh? Well that’s interesting.
It just seems incomplete if only part population scattered get the app.
Just trying to get my head around that.
