Try and stop and think and let this sink in.
We are all in this together. Everyone.
Pending a vaccine (18 months? never?) or controlling medication (timeframe???) our best bet to manage covid 19 WHILE also opening up Australia so that people will then have money to spend on those tradesmen and self employed is to do a multi approach of testing/distancing AND tracing which the COVIDSAFE app will be incredibly useful enabler.
Those people who have no employment or are very reliant on business opening up (like hospitality, self employed, tradesmen) or have limited cash reserves/mortgages and have work that has been put into hibernation- they are the ones who should be pushing the COVIDSAFE app and should be kissing the governments butts for being so proactive and rolling this out.
Personally I have never been busier in my life but my family and I have loaded this app. Because the personal privacy cost of my data being kept for 28 days showing what other phone I was in proximity for over 15 minutes is such small fry as to be laughable as compared to the benefits.
Its what a logical ethical person does to help society when that society is facing a Pandemic of 1 in 100 years.
And you laugh and white ant one of our best shots presently available that will enable our society to re-open business and get some sense of normality- while keeping covid 19 morbidity rates in control.
Wake up- Australia and the World is now in a very different reality to what we had 5 months ago- and it may be a long time for us to get back to some semblance of what it was like before Covid 19.

You're a hypocrite who talks out of both sides of your mouth.
We're all in this together, yet you've never been as busy as you are now? You are just like everyone else who is not affected financially or emotionally with the loss of an income or incomes and piling mountains of debt. You sound just like the people who make these decisions, the politicians and government workers who are completely unaffected financially while destroying the lives of millions, based on a virus which 95% of the population will get over without any major complications.
Get off your high horse, you're attitude is disgraceful. Show some empathy for those who are about to or have lost everything.
Tell me, why has the government sank millions for additional funding for the domestic violence helpline and lifeline?
Fortunately for me, I'm like you, I get to sit in my ivory tower not affected what so ever but do have empathy for those who've lost lives and lost jobs.
