We checked whether every member of Parliament had downloaded the COVIDSafe tracing app. Find out whether your local member has or not.

The Federal Government is trumpeting the importance of downloading the COVIDSafe tracing app, saying it is crucial to reviving businesses and returning to normal life, but at least three of its own MPs have not downloaded it.

All Greens MPs and senators have held off on downloading the app apart from South Australia's Sarah Hanson-Young, with party members citing a distrust of the Government's record on data security. Breaking down the latest news and research to understand how the world is living through an epidemic, this is the ABC's Coronacast podcast.

Centre Alliance senator Rex Patrick cited confidential meetings he held with whistleblowers as reason not to want his face-to-face contacts recorded, but said he would reconsider his position once legislation passes Parliament.

MPs are there to represent their constituents Have they asked their constituents to enforce strict social distancing and preferably stay at home until the crisis is over? Do their constituents have confidence in their MPs social distancing? You're only as safe as everyone else is

Hey can you please also post all the ABC news presenters and journalists who have downloaded (or not) the corona virus app? Can you guarantee 100% compliance?

'Have you downloaded the app?' Is not the correct question to ask. Anybody can download it. Its useless until its setup and working.

Just another reason to defund the ABC. The arrogance of these arseholes is stunning. And then they blither on about the privacy of their journos getting raided by AFP - maybe we need more.

This is actually disgraceful. It’s illegal to coerce and here you are naming and shaming. Enough.

Disgusting journalism. The decision whether or not to download the app is voluntary. This is a blatant invasion of privacy that does not serve to enlighten or assist the public. Shame ABC, shame.

I am appalled that sought fit to even ask this question let alone publish the results. What next, coloured stars? THE APP IS VOLUNTARY. YOUR DECISION TO DOWNLOAD IT IS PERSONAL AND SHOULD BE PRIVATE.

This is previcely why people are hesitant to download the app. Irresponsible press who will publish anything for a story. Illegal pics of a troubled footy player, list of naughty MP’s. Have some morals and ethics of find a new career. Disgusting.

political_alert Here’s twitter which has been subverted in Australia auspol blocked tweaked censorsed subverted by IPA tossers giggling on TV salaries at the stupidity of the not wealthy ScottyFromMarketing

Dutton has been busy building re-education camps for non downloaders.

Clearly showing that you don't need much IQ to get elected and make laws that affect those who elected you.

Now, you can move on to checking on the attendance of their children at school which would be much more telling while they are pushing parents to send their children to public schools that may not be appropriately supplied with soap, sanitiser, etc.

Actually the bigger story here is about 7% of Federal politicians basically told TheirABC to get stuffed by not answering their stupid survey.

Oh good. Can you do that by postcode next? And then make the ones who don’t download it wear a 6 point star, sewn onto their left breast pocket? Then we can stop them going to work, block them from shops, stop them getting medical assistance. Then we can take their homes..

Government releases proposed laws to underpin privacy protections for COVIDSafe appBusiness owners who ban people from entry unless they have downloaded the government's coronavirus contact tracing app will face five years in jail and a $63,000 fine under proposed laws. So the Data CAN be accessed (hacked) when a law is needed to penalise those who do. Thanks for the hat tip. Hang on..the media reported yesterday that the government would make it mandatory that cafes and restaurants could take down the names and addresses of people without the app? What’s the truth One step forward, two steps back by the gov 👏👏👏👏👏
