I don't think the government will 'well look after anything you dumbarse. But I think they will do a better job than 1000 random corporations. Plus one person protecting my data is easier than 1000 corporations trying to protect my data.
You should stay away from conspiracy sites and face reality. Your data will be out there regardless of this id becoming reality or not It's just who is responsible for protecting it that will change.
Don't call me a dumbarse - you dumbarse.
If you give a private company your details - scans of passports or drivers licenses
that information will sit on their server for 10 years or more.
It's then open to hacking.
However if you give the same company your Govt digital ID will they make sure to erase all
the other information they have about you?

What's the bet that hackers will get in no matter where the data is stored if it's online -
in both Govt. and private company servers?
Also - the Optus hack -
10 million people had their drivers licenses info put out for sale on the dark web including me.
Why was Optus forced by Govt. to make people give up
their drivers license information to get a SIM card?
I remember - national security - well how much national security was compromised then?
The Govt caused the problem with their excessive laws.
