https://www.geospatialworld.net/news/australian-government-to-develop-a-smartphone-app-for-facial-recognition-and-gps-tracking-for-covid-19/

https://www.foxnews.com/world/australia-debuts-new-orwellian-app-using-facial-recognition-geolocation-to-enforce-quarantine

The app uses geolocation and facial recognition software to track those in quarantine. The app will contact people at random, asking them to provide proof of their location within 15 minutes.
"We don't tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes," Marshall said.

If the resident cannot verify his or her location or identity when requested, the South Australia Health Department will notify the police, who will then conduct an in-person check on the person in quarantine. Marshall said the government will not be storing any of the information provided to the app.

yikes mate!

You'd have to be some kind of stupid to think they're ever going to get rid of their new "temporary" powers.

They will build a system of oppression and control from which there is no escape, unless you already have an obscene amount of wealth. And the Useful Idiots who are going along with it because they want to appear virtuous to their fellow keyboard warriors will be trapped in it.

Just to give some clarification.

  • It's not all of Australia. Just South Australia. Which still to this day has not had a major outbreak of COVID
  • This is an alternative solution for incoming travelers to avoid two weeks hotel quarantine. It's for home quarantine only.

do not open Pandoras Box. Once it is open there is no closing it.

if this gets built and used, it will be pushed onto everyone like in other places that use surveillance like this at scale.

Yes yes yes and our gun ban means we can't fight back tyranny. Whatever. There's a pandemic going on in the world right now. People need to stay home during those two weeks to avoid hundreds of people dying. The only risk SA has for a COVID outbreak currently is from interstate and international travelers.

If I had to choose between this or hotel quarantine I'd choose this personally. South Australia needs too hold back a COVID outbreak until they get higher vaccinations and the Federal Government hasn't been helping them out much. The 50 or so whatever people who have to do this for a couple of weeks means the rest of the state doesn't have to live under lockdown when an outbreak does occur and it means there's less stress on the system later.

The South Australian State Government isn't much of a 'power at be'

They can't even get vaccines for their population.

If you're concerned about mobile phones tracking you well that boat sailed a long time ago.

there are definitely better ways to handle this than checking up randomly on people and only having 15 minutes to send "proof" or have the cops called on you

we should probably focus on getting south australia's vaccination rates up

The pandora's box of mobile phones following your every move was opened a long time ago.

A temporary check-in process for a handful of incoming travelers for two weeks so they can quarantine at home instead of a hotel room is not pandora's box. South Australia has kept a lid on COVID. Of course their measures will be stricter than states and countries who are in the midst of an outbreak.

If you don't like these measures you can quarantine in a hotel instead.

it is incredible how naive you are to think that this will not slippery slope its way into everyones arms

the slope is slippery

they will monitor everything and use military officers and police officers to force you to show papers whenever you want to go somewhere

and they will then ration your life with CO2 quotas and allowances. Theres already Useful Idiot journalists writing about that type of stuff

Like this guy

https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/08/its-time-to-rethink-personal-carbon-allowances-research-suggests

all of these things are controlled by and funded by a few billionaires with global ambitions and global reach. Australia is just a test bed because they have fewer protections there to begin with, and no firearms.

stand up for your rights and your freedom to live a free and normal life, or you will lose these things. This is not about health or climate. Its about power over people.

when did a tyrannical state ever roll out its abuses of power in broad daylight? Theyll use a guise to do it ofc.

Meanwhile nobody in government being punished for Jan 6 or voting to de-certify an election without literally any evidence is not a slippery slope.

Already covered.

So you're just letting interstate and international travelers arrive with no restrictions? Guaranteeing an outbreak?

As already pointed out to you in this topic the problem with vaccines in Australia is supply and not demand.
