And in the meantime there are Australians struggling to make ends meet, homelessness is increasing, etc and the government would rather spend millions on keeping up with the Joneses with digitalisation than using that money to help the average Australian. 😔

What about our new country folks who don't have smartphones. Or the sensible people who
also don't .. the elderly etc? This is another step towards digital id and cashless economy, the
chains of our enslavement to the globalists are being forged in our faces !8

A step closer to government control in a digital Gulag... And we are all getting sucked into believing it's good for us... A technocratic system... Soon they'll micro chip us... They slowly introduce everything for us to think it's a good thing by controlling us in everything we do...

I hear you, Tony. Do you think this shift is more about efficiency or just rushing the process?
