For yall that love to claim "do the research ", have any of you actually looked this up?

It's a modernization of their existing login system (which I take to be similar to our own login.gov or id.me) that people use to access federal services.

https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/no-you-wont-need-a-digital-id-to-access-social-media-from-july-1/

In 2026, they may roll it out as an option for other sites similar to how you log into maybe websites using you Facebook, Google or Apple ID. But again, that's strictly optional. And that doesn't mean tracking - only authentication. That's not how keystones work.

Social media is not explicitly part of the bill and neither is compulsion.

The only area where compulsory id is being discussed is in age verification for porn sites, but that is still in the works and completely separate from this legislation.

Yea the federal government always has our best interest at heart

A voluntary, national digital ID scheme is due to commence at the end of 2024. Initially, it can be used for government services, with the potential for private companies to become involved from 2026 onwards.

lmao..given Australia's and UK's propensity for thought control, if you think this is an innocent little bit of "innovation" then you are suicidally naive.

It would be "optional" up front, but we know where that eventually leads once implemented.

I wonder how VPN will play into this. Time to invest in a VPN company??

---

Probably won't help because they can just cut off physical access to addresses through internet companies. No government license, no one will give you service.

Australians didn't fight giving up their guns, they didn't fight covid tyranny, and they won't fight this. They are mostly a nation of weak virtue signaling cowards. The bikers and rural folks need to revolt, but they can't, bc they gave up their guns.

For the OP, Aussies don't mind nudity, sex, etc. But they're petrified by violence.

For their ratings on movies and video games, sex and such is OK from age 15 but you have to be 18+ for violent content - think "Call of Duty".

As far as the Australian government monitoring content.

They've been doing that for 15+ years that I'm aware of.

And since they are Prisoners of Mother England, they don't enjoy the freedoms guaranteed in the US Constitution, especially:
1 - Freedom of Speech
2 - Right to Keep and Bear
4 - Unreasonable Search and Seizure
5 - Self Incrimination
6 - Speedy Trial, Jury of your peers
Just to name a few.

As a parent of 1 late Millennial and 1 Zoomer educated in the Australian system, I can tell you that every 10 year old kid in Australia knows how to create a social media account and start cyber bullying their peers.

The Aussies go harder on cyberbullying than they do real bullying.

And given the Australians love of speed cameras and "dobbing in" their neighbours, I don't think there's really anything to see here. The vast majority of Aussies will probably be fine with this.

Remember, they're not Americans. They don't have the same values we do, or Constitutional rights that we enjoy.

---

Interesting, and yet people say they are more like Texans than Americans. Seems that around 2000, someone put something in the water and wussified that nation within 5 years. Very strange as to whats going on DownUnder

---

Queenslanders are similar to Texans. They even call rural parts "The Deep North".

But as you go to the cities and further south, they lose their collective minds.

And south of the New South Wales border, the "Mexicans" in Victoria (Melbourne) are the most progressive ****s.

The problem is that the more common 1984 becomes in other western countries the more normalized it gets. US Democrats want all the same crap here.

No idea what happened with Australia since it seemingly used to be this rugged, individualist type society. Makes me wonder if being in the vicinity of China and beholden to China for a decent portion of their economy and has resulted in this. Context of that is that last time I looked China was purchasing and responsible for much of Australia's government revenue via export of raw materials.

---

The entire Australian economy is propped up by selling Iron Ore, Coal and low grade Uranium to China.

The Aussie slang collectively calls these natural resources "Resources" or "Mining".

This is one of the scariest things I've read in a long time. No joke. <thumbs down>

It's gonna be a LOT worst than that.

That's just the first move. Once you get CBDC, then they'll also know every single thing you buy, where you buy it, and if you speak "improper" words to anyone, or online, then you may find you may not be able to buy groceries, or basically anything our lords and savior inside the beltway don't want you to say.

Yes, CBDC will possibly wipe out the underground, black, economy, but you'll lose your freedom and liberty in the process. And man, will it be sold to the American sheep.

---

How are politicians going to protect themselves from CBDC?

I have never put it together how politicians will be able to pass laws that make it impossible to get around CBDC without exposing themselves to future backlash that catches up with them and all of their shenanigans.

You guys know this is a 100% false, right? A rumor started on Facebook that is totally baseless.

The Australian government has not passed, nor have even discussed, any such legislation. Try a little research before posting total untruths.

if and when the time comes, they will just outlaw legit commercial VPNs. easy to blacklist them because their customer facing IPs are public information to all of their customers.

so we will be forced to search out non-commercial VPN options. - run our own, overseas, etc.

---

Australia already does this. We watch Australian survivor and can't access 10Play (Their CBS) using Express VPN because they know it's coming from a VPN IP address.

I used to think that Australian's were so kick ass tough people, but God they're not.

VPN and similar technologies will be illegal or controlled by the Orwellians

For once, that's something I haven't thought about.

Having said that, the Republicans will certainly get busted by the FBI, etc.. The only answer I can think of will be whatever the massive underground illegal economy will come up with to get around CBDC. When I wrote my reply I didn't address that issue, but like the proverbial saying of "nature abhors a vacuum", bad guys ALWAYS come up with something. As such, the government will likely follow that path.

TBH, we already have a president (Biden) whose bought by the Chinese, Ukranians, and likely Russians, since the $24 million he, and his family, received (confirmed so far) are from those countries. Then the Clinton Foundation receiving $145 million for 25% of our uranium deposits, and of course, our tax dollars were sent to Obama's book company so they could give him well over $40 million for his "latest book" at the end of his presidency, so I'm not so sure our politicians are worried about the CBDC.

DC seems to have already created a method around that, but, that's based on circumstantial evidence. Granted, it's VERY strong circumstantial evidence, but evidence nonetheless.

BTW, everything I've written on the three replies assumes a Trump victory in November. I say that because we'll likely have an additional 4 years (assuming our government doesn't kill Trump) of semi-freedom and liberty.

So assuming Trump is able to make it to January 20th, 2029, a lot of good can be done (you never know with Trump), and likely will be done. After that, unless the Republicans suddenly do a magnificent job of educating the American citizens that the people they seem to be supporting are really the bad guys they always root against in the movies, then it's just a matter of time, similar to the X from Musk below.

'Oh dear Government, oh please, please, PLEASE in all your infinite leader superior wisdom, PLEASE save us from ourselves!!

I've lost a ton of respect for the Aussies. I used to love them. Spent time there twice when I was wearing a uniform. I used to think they had a lot in common with Texans. Now? Not so much.
