 This Australian won't be verifying himself!

But yeah, most will. Unfortunately our "Conservative" Opposition was into National ID and online ID long before our present airhead-of-government got in, so this legislation isn't going away...

 I was with an Aussie the other day and he was talking about this, he didn’t seem to mind. I did ask how, then briefly mentioned that it could be good as it would force people into using the actual internet again.

 I am astonished at how many people I know think this is a good idea. As for me, they have no chance of getting me to verify anything

 What would be the consequences? No internet for you or what?

 No mainstream social media. I might miss Facebook Marketplace. No other downsides...

 Left - right, fascists - liberals ... they are all united in the desire to control the citizen. For their greatest common fear is the loss of power that the united proletariat could bring about. Then the quantitative ratio would work.
