EXCLUSIVE: The COVIDSafe app has not helped state health departments identify any extra contacts that state 'trace detectives' hadn't already identified. 9News

Queensland's health minister says the much-hyped COVIDSafe app "is not working as intended", as the federal government urged more people to download it.

Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton told reporters, "there haven't been new contacts identified through use of the COVID-19 app".

Of course is not working, people are so concerned with their privacy as if Google map hasn't tracked them since 2015...🙄

Well how about that. Another high level of incompetence from Captain Scomo. Nothing has changed in 35 years.

What a lot of us have been saying for quite a while. This was a waste of money & resources.

Is not enforced, therefore is not surprising.

yep just a ploy to hack and crack

Cause we won’t let you control us!

wow...its almost as if an app wouldnt be able to physically stop a virus.

What does that mean. Media are pathetic. Would love media to help educate our society rather than try and destroy it. How old are the socialist journalists ? Parents should be ashamed. Probably all given cars when they were 18.

Thats because no-ones using it. If the government provided free vaxines and only 20% of people utilised it. Would we blame the government or the people?

Best news ever

Trust us, download the app and restrictions will ease. Bullshit. Premiers are a joke. Jam your app.

Flop

What a shock.

Why Kangaroos-All Blacks showdown could be over before it beganNew Zealand Rugby confirmed they are considering a proposal to play an historic cross-code clash between the All Blacks and the Kangaroos but key figures fear the showdown may fall over due to news leaking before a deal was struck. Don’t. Just don’t. (and love both codes) That would be the ultimate match. Split the game in 2 halves where both codes are played in each half. Or play 2 matches post origin. After flying briefly, the pig has crashed.
