New Digital IdentityLaws, page-23

"At the moment the bill doesn’t require you to have a digital ID, but we’ve heard overtures about systems being voluntary before haven’t we. And we know what governments do when they get centralised control of these sorts of systems.”The senator said he voted against the legislation, and it will now move to the lower house of parliament.“It is now up to lower house federal members of parliament to vote against this bill. And look all I can say is, speak to your local member about this bill, speak to your local federal member of parliament about opposing this bill, because Australia is now another step closer to a dystopian digital future.”The legislation passed the Senate with 33 for, and 26 against. Senators from the Liberal Party, United Australia Party, and nationalist One Nation opposed the bill, while Labor, Greens, the Jacqui Lambie Network, and former Liberal-turned-independent David Van voted for it. A few senators were absent from the chamber at the time of the vote.
Life is About to Change: One Nation Senator
One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts said the digital ID law is the most significant legislation he has seen in his time in the Senate.“It’s the glue that holds together the digital control agenda by which every Australian will be controlled, corralled, exploited and then gagged when they speak or act in opposition,” he claimed in Parliament (pdf).Mr. Roberts said life is about to change for every Australian.“As much as Senator Gallagher seeks to downplay the significance of introducing one central digital identifier for each and every Australian, the reality is that this is the most significant legislation I’ve seen in my time in the Senate,” he said.“The government knows that digital ID will be compulsory by the device of preventing access to government services, banking services, air travel and major purchases for any Australian who does not have a digital ID.”Mr. Roberts claimed the digital ID would create a live data file of movements, purchases, accounts, and associates with a reference to every piece of data being held in the private and government sectors as the “first step in a wider agenda.”“Google, Facebook and other tech giants have been building huge data files on every Australian for years. Those huge data files contain every website you’ve visited, every post you made on their social media and everything you have ever bought online, and the keyword scan from conversations overheard by Siri and Alexa in your home are now unmasked,” he said.
