Sounds great, but knowing something about how screwed Australians are for privacy I'm sure there's a caveat. Probably have to have a digital ID 100% verifiable human citizen before you can use it. Allow yourself to be AI tracked online and off 24/7 to get rid of some ads. If people did a bit of research you will find you can already do these things and more to increase your security and protect your own privacy. The governments don't like that though. If it's something like the EU's GDPR with no caveats then it will be an improvement.

Its the Australian government there's going to be so many loopholes that its essentially pointless then when people ask for a real version they gonna point to it and go look we already have this stop complaining.

The caveat is it doesn't apply to political parties.
