  • Agreed, the slippery slope argument people like to trot out is old, and the government already knows who is using Facebook.

    The problem I see is handing more personally identifiable information over to corporations that are both prone to misusing their power and the potential for hackers to obtain that information.

    This will likely end with a push to the mygov ID system once a breach has impacted Australians and resistance is low.






  • I live in Australia, some of my trips are 1200+ km in a day, add in charging time and it’s simply not realistic for me to use an EV. My longest trip is 2,200km in one go which already takes 25-26 hours including stops.

    The lower cost is great but wouldn’t make up for needing to pay for an additional overnight stay. There’s also zero infrastructure for EVs in remote locations.

    EVs aren’t quite there for everyone’s use cases. I would have one for around town… if they weren’t privacy nightmares.
