There are many ways this system could be
0:02
abused and there are not enough
0:03
protections to ensure that it doesn't
0:04
become mandatory. Furthermore, the
0:06
protections which do exist are not
0:08
robust and leave the door open for
0:10
activities such as online banking to
0:12
become highly inconvenient without a
0:14
digital ID. At least the system should
0:16
be voluntary for users who would like
0:19
the convenience of having their data
0:20
stored in one digital location uh and
0:22
and no more. If people don't want it,
0:24
they shouldn't have to use it. Mark my
0:26
words, it won't be long before digital
0:29
ID will become a condition of employment
0:31
in this country. And as sure as night
0:33
follows day, the corporate sector will
0:35
adopt the system on behalf of the
0:37
government. These laws must be repealed
0:40
urgently. And I thank Senators Hansen,
0:43
Roberts, Babbot, Canavan, and Renick for
0:46
co-sponsoring this bill.
