Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton says the government’s controversial coronavirus app is necessary to get Australia back on track. The app, which uses Bluetooth data to record digital “handshakes” with nearby phones, would be used by health officials to assist in the contract tracing of those who have come into contact with confirmed coronavirus cases.
Mr Dutton, who recently recovered from the disease himself, dismissed privacy concerns and said the app would help Australia avoid becoming the next Italy. “There are absolute protections that are guaranteed around the privacy,” he told Sky News. “All of us have numerous apps on our phones which collect more data than we have here.
Kieran_Gilbert Yeah, nah. Current tracing seems to work wonderfully well. New cases have slumped to single didt territory. So why would Australians want to give up their privacy for more invasive tracking?
Kieran_Gilbert Waiting for the bill shock articles. I note that it was the App was open to Androids only not Apple. And have people read the fine print about 15 minutes exposure parameter & it holds for only 21 days so you must rely on someone actually uaving symptoms and seeking care & test +v
Kieran_Gilbert Nutton you are a virus 🦠
Kieran_Gilbert
Kieran_Gilbert Jesus wept! Chip poked his spud nut up! Where was he for Ruby Princess
Kieran_Gilbert BLOODY BULLSHIT
Kieran_Gilbert
Kieran_Gilbert If only they had kept Dutton out of it it may have had a chance.
Kieran_Gilbert Back on what track?
Kieran_Gilbert Dutton wants a potato app....
Kieran_Gilbert I say that it is imperative that we all be held accountable, so when Minister Peter Dutton is held accountable for the Ruby Princess, I will download the tracking app.
Kieran_Gilbert Well Herr Kipfler would say that wouldn't he
Kieran_Gilbert I used to like Dutton, but am going off him quickly !
Kieran_Gilbert Amazing so many people have an issue with the App when your phone, telco, Apple, Samsung. And every App you already have tracks your every minute. Every single tower you bounce of connects to you or register you in the vicinity so what the difference. Wake up people
Kieran_Gilbert The man who leaked private medical records to the media, weaponised refugee’s FB pages
Kieran_Gilbert
Kieran_Gilbert Absolute bull shit. Where was the app for the 645 flu deaths in 2019
Kieran_Gilbert he is lying never download it unfortunately they will get google and apple to include it their software updates.time to piss these phones off they are made to track us so obvious now . this example of how intrusive tech is and will get worse 5G will turbo charge the AI watch out
Kieran_Gilbert We were off track? I thought we were doing very well and are not only flattening the curve but close to elimination. It's not comforting to have Dutton confirm that this is not the case. Even worse to see a news organisation too stupid to see this. Isn't this your core function?
Kieran_Gilbert The Federal government resigning is what Australia needs
Kieran_Gilbert I don’t trust Dutton. He lies.
Kieran_Gilbert
Kieran_Gilbert Home Affiars minister speaks with forked tongue.
Kieran_Gilbert
Kieran_Gilbert Whatever, just let us work again and support our families !
Kieran_Gilbert Do. Not. Trust. You.
Kieran_Gilbert Tell me what happens if authorities are notified that I have been 1.5 m from an infected person for 15 minutes. Do they tell me? Why? What do I then do? See a doctor for a test? After how many days? Self isolate for 14 days? Total lack of information.
Kieran_Gilbert Necessary is the government controlled borders to actually be controlled. BorderFarce Dutton has no credibility. He had one job.
Kieran_Gilbert Build your app so it: •Doesn't drain my battery •Won't burn up my mobile data •Gives me confidence that my privacy is as important as the health of my community. It's not rocket surgery.
Kieran_Gilbert I DO NOT CONSENT TO APP USERS LOGGING ME The only people who give permission for their device to be logged by another person's tracking app are those that have downloaded the app. If you don't download the tracking app, you don't give permission for other people to track you. .
Kieran_Gilbert Back on track? When did we get off track?
Kieran_Gilbert More people downloaded it, faster the economy can recover and people get jobs
Kieran_Gilbert People who worry about the government spying on them are using Google,Facebook,etc. which track a lot more than people realise! So they are comfortable with their info being used by international corporations for unknown purposes but don’t care about saving lives and the economy?
Kieran_Gilbert That’ll be a very loud “No!” from me, Mr Dutton.
Kieran_Gilbert There is a massive trust issue with the government and they only have themselves to blame. Monkey see monkey do
Kieran_Gilbert Doesn't herr dutton have more important things on his hands, like covering up the RubyPrincess debacle PeterDutton_MP is CorruptToTheCore
Kieran_Gilbert To put our minds at ease the government tells us they've refused requests for access, made by departments. Is nobody else alarmed by the fact that THEY DID ASK in the first place? It shows a dangerous mentality
Kieran_Gilbert How about this. You tell us who was responsible for the Ruby Princess catastrophe and then I will consider it.
Kieran_Gilbert I will download the app. If it helps doctors and save lives, I'm all for it. Who cares if someone knows what street you walk down.
Kieran_Gilbert NO GatesFraud
Kieran_Gilbert Bullshit!
Kieran_Gilbert As was it necessary Dutton stopped the Ruby Princess from offloading it’s infected passengers. But here we are.
Kieran_Gilbert If Dutton did his job then this wouldn’t even be an issue. He’s tried to blame NSW health, didn’t stick, he tried to blame China, didn’t stick either, now he’s pushing this so he can blame us?..I wonder when the Greens are going to be blamed?
Kieran_Gilbert Ask PeterDutton_MP if any america law agency will have access to this data stored with amazon
Kieran_Gilbert Dats stored by this app onto amazon is subject to America search warrants from the likes of the FBI
Kieran_Gilbert
Kieran_Gilbert Dutton says one thing, I believe he means another. Issue: The encryption Keys should remain Australian Government exclusive property, to be held here by an Australian Government Department. Someone called Australian Nation Security, at arm's length from Dutton. NOT USA.
Kieran_Gilbert Of course that facist would say that.
Kieran_Gilbert Run a lottery of $1million first prize on offer for everyone who downloads the App. Raise the $1mil from a naming rights sponsor of the app. IMO
Kieran_Gilbert All the Gov needs to do is legislate the security guarantees asap and they will get plenty of people to sign up. If it's that important, it's important enough to do it correctly.
Kieran_Gilbert Dutton is a liar and incompetent . The Ruby Princess debacle is a case in point but your hopelessly biased Wingnut commentary won’t have it
Kieran_Gilbert Yes I will be downloading App, total support of our Government ❤️🇦🇺PM
Kieran_Gilbert What happens is we don’t download the App?
Kieran_Gilbert If the Newspoll people who reckon Morrison is doing a good job download the app they will get the necessary 40%. They really wont need to bother about anybody else. covid19au auspol coronavirusaus tracetogether
Kieran_Gilbert I'll say it one more time! Fuck off with your app PeterDutton_MP
Kieran_Gilbert What are the neurotic ABC crowd to do? They're desparate to download this App...but they hate hate hate Peter Dutton
Kieran_Gilbert FO.
Kieran_Gilbert Simple, people with app return to level 1 restrictions, people without stay home. It is funny people posting they won’t get the app while using twitter on smart phones
Kieran_Gilbert UlteriorMotive Insiders outsiders
Kieran_Gilbert Where's our Medicare data currently stored? Do you use its app for claims? It tracks way more about our health than this app ever will. Tax data? Payroll? Banking? Purchases? Locations?Conversations? For all concerned about this app issue best to discard your devices immediately.
Kieran_Gilbert PeterDutton_MP IMO WHITE SA farmers that are being genocided should be given immediate RefugeesWelcome status before ALL others 2 get Australia back on track auspol
Kieran_Gilbert Guys. It’s almost over. Stop it with this fucking app.
Kieran_Gilbert
Kieran_Gilbert Is that what Canberra bureaucrats told you PeterDutton_MP? There’s no way on God's earth that I’m going to use this app - or take the vaccine! The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Kieran_Gilbert Any request or directive prefixed with 'Home Affairs Minister Dutton says ... ' is the main reason why about 60% Australians are not interested in coronvirus app
Kieran_Gilbert No it is not.
Kieran_Gilbert I was vaguely in favour until this muppet was reeled out to flog it
Kieran_Gilbert Nope.
Kieran_Gilbert RUBY PRINCESS. R U B Y. P R I N C E S S. Thanks.
Kieran_Gilbert Nobody trusts this government and certainly don't trust ObergruppenführerDutton! auspol
Kieran_Gilbert 'Neccesary'? Sounds more like 'control'. I'll pass thanks.
Kieran_Gilbert & this is coming from from an Government with Authoritarian policies. Can’t blame people not wanting the redflagapp
Kieran_Gilbert Don’t they all. Why an AI computer scientist sat in UK’s sage meeting. It’s all about data mining. Suspend your civil liberties in order to gain freedom from house arrest Wasn’t that tried before? “Give me freedom (from censors) or give me death” Henry
Kieran_Gilbert No it's not. I'd understand it in a country with 100's of thousands of infections and 15% death rate. Here, people just need to be informed and sensible. We don't need government tracking the movements of everyone.
Kieran_Gilbert No sane person trusts the government that this app and it's information is going to be used for the purpose of tracking covid19australia and we certainly don't trust the governments ability to keep it from being hacked
Kieran_Gilbert Bull shit lockup the old and infirmed use meals on wheels to feed them where needed and let US get back to work
Kieran_Gilbert Shame the govt is completely untrustworthy. Maybe if there was any level of accountability on issues like sportsrorts, agnusgate or the myriad other scandals or they hadn't sort to erode our rights & privacy at every turn, or they'd implemented the FederalICAC they promised.
