The Amazon Tracking app was highly successful, or so we were told earlier this week. The government said that the first day take up rate exceeded the wildest expectations of what was hoped would be loaded in an entire week.
However, five days later, there aren't nearly enough people who have downloaded the App for the government to let us all back into the wild. So what went wrong with the success ? A mystery, or were the 'success' numbers low balled by millions to start with. No matter, now come the threats.
If we want an 'early mark', as dangled by Morrison, then he demands more downloads by the 18.6m Australians that own mobile phones. Yes that's sure to work - in a schoolyard tone, threaten all the 'naughty' people. The public service told Morrison the App must be compulsory, he bought it, then he was so stung by criticism he had to make it voluntary. Now it's come down to threats, so its obvious he still hasn't learnt that a lot of people just simply don't want the App.
Regardless of how many people have download the App, he will have to hit the release button very soon. People will see consecutive days of either zero or just ones and twosies in their state and make up their own minds about where they go and what they do. Except in Victoria, you guys are stuck with the evil puppet master Andrews, no App, he will erase you from existence just like Captain Cook.
