The biometric dystopia.

NATIONAL DIGITAL ID

The Australian government has announced a comprehensive National Strategy for Identity Resilience, a Digital ID framework that is aimed at “bolstering the security and resilience of citizens’ identities”.

The strategy, developed through collaboration between the Commonwealth, state and territory governments, focuses on identity crime and ‘facilitating’ a ‘solution’ to this problem of breaches.

The National Strategy for Identity Resilience outlines key principles guiding the strategy, including the seamless integration of Commonwealth, state, and territory digital ID systems, “inclusivity” in accessing services, and the roles of individuals, industry, and government in “building resilience”.

With the increasing reliance on digital verification processes, the strategy places particular emphasis on the role of digital identification in “ensuring robust identity protection”.

The strategy states there will be a ‘need’ for new identity management systems to “evolve alongside emerging risks”, taking into account ‘the importance of privacy and strong security measures’.

It also praises the role of digital credentials and biometrics in “enhancing identity resilience”.

By establishing “a secure and inclusive identity ecosystem”, Australia “…aims to facilitate safe participation in the economy and reinforce its broader efforts in online safety and cybersecurity”.

The strategy aligns with the nation’s ambition to become the most cyber-secure nation by 2030 and sets the stage for continued collaboration between the Commonwealth, states and territories.

The last we had heard from National Digital ID was in October 2021 when it was announced that an oversight body would convene to come up with the ‘appropriate’ guidelines:

Australia’s digital ID system will soon get an oversight body

Now, it seems they have completed their skeleton, which outlines a series of short, medium, and long-term initiatives. These include:

Updating national identity proofing guidelines to ensure ‘consistent standards’.
Establishing a cohesive national response to identity security aspects of data breaches.
Raising ‘identity resilience awareness’ and education.
Implementing a credential protection register, and;
Facilitating the reissuance of digital credentials through digital wallets.

All key building blocks in the construction of a New World Order.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, things are getting close now.

Just years ago, people cried out that you were ‘crazy’ for even mentioning the notion of a national database of identity management, and now, it is staring us right in the face.

IT’S FINALLY ARRIVING

TOTT News has been following and warning of this digital agenda plan for years, and once again, those who have sold out Australia are pushing to clear the final hurdles.

They first attempted to develop a system in 2018, and after almost a year of parliamentary reviews, an intelligence committee rejected plans for a national facial recognition database.

The only problem?

The committee advised the government to come back at another time when more safeguards had been added to address concerns, instead of ‘don’t come back at all’.

In the meantime, this agenda switched from a national level to a state-based level, as they worked to establish the underpinning systems from the lower-levels while the heat cooled off a bit.

States continue national facial recognition push

Australia’s Digital and Data Minister held meetings in March of last year with state-level counterparts to further discuss a potential country-wide Digital ID program, for which we have seen introduced in places.

Behind the scenes, it was revealed that the federal government was exploring the ‘potential benefits’ of Digital ID, with an allocation of $256.6 million to develop of a system based on facial recognition.

This was exposed at a 2020 digital business funding program meant to respond to the pandemic.

Of course, this period helped the heat cool off more than anything, and throw in a few Cyber Polygon-inspired ‘hacks’ to garner a frantic reaction, and all of a sudden, national Digital ID was back on the cards.

‘We must protect ourselves!’, the government pitches to a sleeping populous, who are unaware of our own participation in ‘hacking drills’ that ‘coincidentally’ seemed to map out what was to come.

And now that the masses are back on board, the business world has also followed suit, including the banking sector — an industry that has jumped at the opportunity to introduce their own systems.

The Australian government will look to centralise any Digital ID program (based on this framework) inside of their myGov system, a central hub to access services like online tax, welfare, Medicare and more.

Here it comes: myGov shakeup will welcome biometric nightmare

From here, the natural progression in line with the Agenda 2030 plan is to link these databases to highly-sophisticated smart city networks, and ultimately to social credit systems for ultimate control.

Thankfully, many people are aware of this agenda and have been fighting back against it.

Hopefully some type of breakthrough comes soon before the right to privacy is lost forever.
