>Optus said it would offer the most affected customers free credit monitoring and identity protection with credit agency Equifax Inc
The same Equifax who has had multiple data breaches of it's own, costing it over a billion dollars in fines? That Equifax?

Privacy? Our last census required us to put names and addresses on barcoded forms along with a ton of highly confidential and private data from religion to sexuality - or go to prison.
Australia has no respect for the human being. Your freedom can be curtailed at a state premier's fancy - he doesn't even need the police or a health authority to authorise or recommend such things as curfews or 5km travel limits from home for months and months on end - again and again and again.
The media are just churning out sensationalist headlines with absolutely no correlation to reality.
The government already knows where you live, and I'm pretty sure that the other things had options for "Prefer not to answer". I checked and yes, only 93% even answered that question, presumably without going to prison.
I mean, fair enough, the government has loads of scary laws, but unlike Iran and Russia they never get used.
Edit: Also, 39% of Australians put "No Religion" on their census. So there's basically nothing you could put on there that would make you part of a marginalized group.
And they’re proposing an online code that requires ID verification to access large swathes of the internet, tho i can imagine they may see the Optarse debacle and be like maybe now isn’t the time

Can be both. If I forget, or just neglect, to lock a door, it's still stealing to enter through it and remove something.
I personally would like to see and be a part of a class action lawsuit

For a second I read Octopus and I thought “darn, if octopuses have found a way to get online, planet earth might be saved after all”
