Everyone: SIGN ME UP

Government: "We'd like you to download this app so that we can track anonymised data that will help stop the spread of coronavirus"

Everyone: SOURCE CODE OR GTFO

An argument seen a lot, however fb and the like can't/don't

put people in jail
data match with the tax office data
data match with centrelink data
data match with state/territory licence (and face image) data
data match the meta-data they have forced telephone companies to collect and store
share with other governments

and other nefarious purposes that only bureaucrats can dream up.....for your safety of course, government love mission creep.

Considering the app can't monitor asymptomatic contagion where infection can be 20-100 times known infections, its a waste of time anyway.
