| A pleasant surprise from Australia:
https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2020L00480 Coercing the use of COVIDSafe (1) A person must not require that another person: (a) download COVIDSafe to a mobile telecommunications device; or (b) have COVIDSafe in operation on a mobile telecommunications device; or (c) consent to uploading COVID app data from a mobile telecommunications device to the National COVIDSafe Data Store. (2) A person must not: (a) refuse to enter into, or continue, a contract or arrangement with another person (including a contract of employment); or (b) take adverse action (within the meaning of the Fair Work Act 2009) against another person; or (c) refuse to allow another person to enter premises; or (d) refuse to allow another person to participate in an activity; or (e) refuse to receive goods or services from another person; or (f) refuse to provide goods or services to another person; on the ground that, or on grounds that include the ground that, the other person: (g) has not downloaded COVIDSafe to a mobile telecommunications device; or (h) does not have COVIDSafe in operation on a mobile telecommunications device; or (i) has not consented to uploading COVID app data from a mobile telecommunications device to the National COVIDSafe Data Store. Note that this is only a ministerial determination, which I believe means that it can be changed or withdrawn at any time, and is overridden by legislation. But if Parliament legislates this when it next sits, I will be quite impressed. |
