Any fool who thinks the population will allow a government to monitor health, hotel booking, transport, utilities, banking though my gov accounts is dreaming.

1 misuse Personal records in your my gov account will transition into a tool for private industry to do business with you.
2 lack of freedomand obstruction. The ATO is going online and i ts now impossible to lodge a tax return in person, in Adelaide, its all part of this transition.
3 inefficient The public service is sick of emails, it just slows things down. It takes up to 1 hour to deal with issues via email and 3 min at a counter.
4 security breach Online services are a security risk to personal details.
5 government collapse Online services are a soverighn risk to national security. The one stop shop approach and online processing would allow one person to totally destroy a country at the touch of a button. It could stop all industries linked to the system.

Well its all going to happen under the name "Trust Exchange".

And even the ABC are all over it, thought I better use this outlet as some don't trust anything else.

All this is happening already within government departments with the MyGov ID as of November last year.

Try and change accountants and see what you have to do with proving your ID, even getting into the AEC site want to use your MyGov ID setup.

All this is just the start as the government want to know your every move very soon.

How would Trust Exchange work?
Under the proposed system, someone checking into a hotel could scan a QR code and share their passport information through a centralised system.
A QR code set up at a pub could allow someone to prove their age or regular address without having to actually hand over those details.
Instead, a token — described by Government Services Minister Bill Shorten as a kind of digital "thumbs up" — would be provided and your details would be kept private.
Mr Shorten told the National Press Club the new system could also be used to take the hassle out of buying a mobile phone or setting up a bank account, or to simplify the process of applying for a job.
He said instead of having to hand over personal credentials such as qualifications, citizenship or visa status to an employer, under the new system people would be able to verify their identity through Trust Exchange.
A record of what had been shared would be kept inside your MyGov "wallet", and Mr Shorten said individuals would be able to control what details were exchanged.
It is designed to be an opt-in system for both consumers and businesses, so both would need to be set up with Trust Exchange to use it.
The federal government has labelled the system "brand new and world leading", saying it will allow people to verify their identity and credentials based on official information already held by the Australian government.
