The previous government circulated legislation for a trusted digital identity bill that watered down privacy provisions and these are now clearly not sufficient to protect Australians. Is the government going to introduce a digital identity bill and, if so, please explain the logic of putting all the data known about every Australian, including web surfing and social media posts, purchase history, financial history, health data, travel and associations with others, in one datafile and to make that available to companies like Optus?
