I’m an Australian who values privacy and civil liberties more than most I meet.

While I yearn for the more authentic and sincere days of the internet I grew up on, I recognize very quickly by visiting x or facebook how much it isn’t that, and hasn’t been for a long time.

I think this bill is a good thing and I support it.

I’m an Australian who values privacy and civil liberties more than most I meet, and that's why I think this bill is horrible, is full of unintended consequences, and will be worked around by kids who care to do it.

Read the bill. Gov ID collection is just as much a violation as failing to take any action
