After the abuses of Metadata Retention, and how AABill passed, no. History shows that the Australian Government will and continue to abuse people. The Australian Government cannot be trusted, and if you do, you're naive.

Don't forget censusfail and robodebt. This government does not have a good history with tech.

I will say that this determination from the Health Minister was a breath of fresh air, but it needs to be made law when Parliament sits: https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2020L00480
