This past week, while we were distracted with the budget, our controlled digital future came one step nearer, as the Australian Federal Governments Digital ID Bill sailed through Parliament last week with the support of the crossbench, having been previously passed in the Senate.
The passing into law of this bill may at a superficial level sound sensible, given that as more Australians are increasingly transacting online, our identities are vulnerable in new ways. So the Digital ID is to provide “secure” access system for other services that we can have confidence and trust in; the Government says.
But as I discussed in my previous show from the 29th March, Digital Tyranny Is One Step Closer! https://youtu.be/kVVmG_7ddWg I am reminded of the parable of the frog, who slowly gets cooked to death, in a pot as the temperature rises – the same in true for Australians, as civil liberties such as the use of cash, are removed, even as the digital architecture for future control gets put in place. You can see parallels elsewhere round the world and aligned with the agenda of several high profile non-elected bodies like the World Economic Forum – of “you will own nothing and be happy” fame.
