Social commentator Prue MacSween says the people who are “getting into a lather” over the new COVID Trace app are the very people who engage with the government through the ATO, Medicare, and “mindlessly share their whole lives” on social media.
“if we come down with the virus, wouldn't you want to warn the people you love and others who may have been exposed to you for 15 minutes or more,” she said.
Ms MacSween noted if the country is truly serious about “eradicating this scourge that has killed around 76 Australians,” then why would any “sound minded person not want to download it”.
Many people, including federal politicians Llew O’Brien and Barnaby Joyce, take issue with the app while “going on about Big Brother”.
Fellow panelist Cory Bernardi the virus may be “nowhere near as bad as what they’ve been peddling for all this time,” and now Australia has been forced to “go into lockdown, destroy economy, destroy our freedoms, and get tracked by the government”.
