Wow, that's really wild that they are making you check in like that. Firstly, not everyone has a phone, or a smart phone. Secondly, your phone carrier damn well can track you anyway based on what cell towers your phone is pinging off of. That is literally how they have caught criminals before.
Yeah, like, I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist and I am especially not so about covid, but I AM fucking worried about the privacy invasions we generally seem to accept (or are forced to accept if we want to function in society) with tech and stuff. They pretend like you can just not accept the terms and conditions, but you need that computer with that software for work or whatever, so, not really.

You can sign in with paper and pen if you don't have the tracking app. I don't have data, so I do it that way, now they're hovering over you to get it done. I'm starting to think that's preferable to the app anyway, as others have mentioned, you can't be certain what you're scanning is legit and your information won't get hacked. In fact, hacking and system crashes are real issues here, because Australia is so behind technologically, but they're still trying to have everything digitised.
I agree. As @minismallholding said, you can sign in with pen and paper. And as she said, I don't trust it either, hence the waving. I will, however, sign the sheet, in a script any doctor would be proud of.
Lol! Saw a sign-in today in that very style of script. Pointless in the situation given, other than it might stop passers by reading it and using it nefariously. We were there by appointment, so the place already had all our details and more. Centrelink hoop jumping, so it goes straight to the government anyway.
