well, I disagree right there

as to ''With regards your question to the OP it's well understood that a Country would fail to function if, for example, the electricity grid was wiped out with an EM Bomb or Satellites were knocked out.''

ok - maybe I'm not seeing the op at all???

I replied to this below ----- and if this is the OP ------------ wtf is it about?

references are really handy things

''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.''

Ok, we're clearly reading the post differently. I've highlighted one aspect and you another. My main fear is "government collapse" and societal collapse not privacy. However, I do refuse to give my DNA to any and all entities, including those claiming they could help trace my ancestors using it.
