An online petition of over 91,000 signatures is calling on the federal government to scrap Digital Identity legislation that signatories argue is a ‘power grab’ and a ‘fundamental threat to democracy.’
The Labor government is looking at creating a one-stop Digital ID that links all government documents, a scheme the former Coalition government started. Australians can expect to have it operational within a year connecting documents like a driver’s license and Medicare that will be verified by external organizations.
