A national identification system is a standardized ID system that provides a unique identification number or card to all citizens, which can be used to verify identity and access various services. Proponents argue that it enhances security, streamlines identification processes, and helps prevent identity fraud. Opponents argue that it raises privacy concerns, could lead to increased government surveillance, and may infringe on individual freedoms.

@9WD555W5mos5MO
Yes, as long as it is used only for identifying, protecting and preventing fraud.
@B3RVGZH2 days2D
Yes, but only for government/additional identification purposes, not compulsory or necessary for all circumstances
@B3QH7ZX4 days4D
Yes, but not for fraud - it's helpful to improve the efficiency of government systems and consolidates the security of the personal information of citizens in a trusted place (rather than the current situation where every digital service takes your data without security oversight with impunity)
@B3QD2B84 days4D
Yes, only if the process of safeguarding information is transparent and there is no coercion to join.
@B3PCCBR5 days5D
tfn and id cards should already be doing this, maybe add something for people who don't have a tfn and/or id card or license.
@B2YMYNF4wks4W
While it sounds like a good idea on the face of it there isn't an implementation known to humanity that doesn't result in data egress and non effective systems. Systems like this, for this purpose, end up costing a fortune and merely marginalizing vulnerable people further. You can only shore up your palisades at the pointy ends, not individualize the problem.
@9V9PLZT5mos5MO
Australia is already a relatively safe place, and while security should still be instilled, it must not breach the privacy of current citizens.
@9TQPHWX6mos6MO
The repairs should implement is national system fraud identity as said government feedback admins
