Technical issues with the COVIDSafe app have prevented health experts from accessing data to trace the contacts of an infected person. 9News

The app requires Bluetooth access on your smartphone. Like when your phone seeks out your car Bluetooth or your headphone, your phone once you open the app, will seek out other phones which have the app installed.

The records being kept are stored on your own phone in encrypted storage. You can't see the list, no-one else can access the list. If, and only if you test positive to COVID-19, your State Health department will ask if you have the app, and if you are willing to provide the contact tracing data.

ccp spy apps

The govt can’t operate call centres that work effectively, why am I not surprised they can’t run this, a dodgy app informing people of a possible serious illness is a shit idea, lot worse than no app yet people got it. Don’t get the app, Chinese built, false positives

Remember this is the outfit that brought you the on-line census! The three certainties in life: (1) Death (2) Taxes (3) The Incompetence of Public Servants

A lot of apps on my phone have glitches , can't log in, locked out for using the right password although it's the right one and so on. Not surprised a gov run app has issues

I downloaded this app twice, both times my phone wouldn't let it run due to the battery saver. Switched the saver off, gave the app permission to override the saver still nothing. Deleted the app.

😂😂😂😂😂 hope all the sheep dumb enough to sign up have all their personal details exposed!!!

told you so. and the data will still go overseas

🤡🤡🤡

If this doesn’t gets us heard, nothing ever would in the whole world! V R 14k strong temporary residents waiting to be heard letuscomehome scomoletuscomehome ScottMorrisonMP AlanTudgeMP NickMcKim PeterDutton_MP rightsagenda

So what about my battery and data usage 😢

Ha ha it’s been hacked!

What smart phone? I lost it in a boating accident.

Well. Well. Well. The incompetence of Govt has reared it’s ugly head again. I will bet that there will be no one in Govt to take responsibility. Just another notch in blowing up taxpayers money with no accountability. By the time the app is fixed, we will all have COVID 19.

Told you it was faulty.

🤡👻🤡 anyone else hearing the circus song in their head

I want my money back!

I'm shocked ...

The $3.3million dollar app taxpayers had to fork out for?

?

But at least our government can still track our personal life, etc ...that's all that matters!

NO SHIT!

😂😂😂😂😂

They rushed us to get this app.A app that was not tested properly before it was released. The politicians used it for publicity stunt, saying”If you don’t get the app the restrictions may not get lifted...”But now it’s blown up in their faces and now we are not so trusting of em

So no privacy issues then...

😂 oh dear...here we go

WHO 'not equipped' to conduct COVID inquiry | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Cam Stewart says the World Health Organisation is “clearly not well equipped to make this sort of inquiry” because of its close ties with China. \n\nChinese President Xi Jinping has announced that he will only allow an independent inquiry if it is conducted by the WHO. \n\nMr Stewart told Sky News allowing the WHO to conduct the inquiry might be the “only choice” if China was to cooperate. \n\nHe said the Trump administration was scathing of the close relationship between China and the WHO and was pushing the international body to reaffirm its independence. \n\n“I guess one can only hope that the pressure which the US and Australia and other countries around the world are putting on the WHO, will make them lift their game because it doesn’t seem like the Chinese would let anyone else in apart from the WHO,” he said. \n\nImage: AP China “agreeing” to an “investigation” by WHO is a joke and shows the need for a new, truly international, non-exclusive health body that is not China Centric. StateDept MOFA_Taiwan Tredro is a member of the Chinese communist party. What a bunch of idiots. There was just a new election and the chairman was elected by the countries who backed the inquiry of Australia. MurdochCancer
