Australian broadcaster Rowan Dean: "Digital ID is the end of democracy... and an irreversible step into a dystopian future of... digital currency controlled by governments, potentially leading to a Chinese-style social credit system where government has the ability to control and restrict every single aspect of your lives—from where you go, how you travel, your healthcare, what you eat, control over your spending habits... your job prospects, and so on." "If you think future authoritarian governments of whatever persuasion won't use these powers ruthlessly and mercilessly then you must have been fast asleep during Covid QR codes and vaccine mandates." "The reality of digital identity is not about curbing illegal immigration... and it most certainly isn't meant to protect youth online... Digital ID is the linchpin of the United Nations' push for a global surveillance state." "Surrender to a digital ID and surrender your children's freedom."
