We were told that the source code would be released for independent
analysis so people could see that it was all above board. Now SloMo says
it will be published in a couple of weeks, maybe, after it's been looked
at and checked.

Sorry "The government said the COVIDSafe source code would be released
“subject to consultation with the Australian Signals Directorate’s
Australian Cyber Security Centre”.

BTW the legislation ensuring privacy and proper use of the app by the

The good news is that the Hydroxychloroquine should save your life from the Covid-19.
The bad news is that you will be proving President Trump right.

No thank-you, maybe when the code has been disclosed and independently
checked and when the legislation is put forward I may reconsider.

They've lied about releasing the code already.

Unless Greg Hunt can pass legislation by himself those are Regulations.
OK they have to ratified iirc down the track but haven't been passed by
parliament yet and won't till it sits again. I assume if the kids can go

No, it's not a Regulation. It's a Determination and it's been issued by
Hunt. If you'd bothered to read some of it , you'd have seen that he
has the authority (as Minister of Health) to issue such a Determination
under S477(1) of the Biosecurity Act 2015 whcih says:
Health Minister may determine emergency requirements during human
biosecurity emergency period
(1) During a human biosecurity emergency period, the Health Minister
may determine any requirement that he or she is satisfied is necessary:
(a) to prevent or control:
(i) the entry of the declaration listed human disease into
Australian territory or a part of Australian territory; or
(ii) the emergence, establishment or spread of the
declaration listed human disease in Australian territory or a part of
Australian territory; or
(b) to prevent or control the spread of the declaration listed
human disease to another country; or
(c) if a recommendation has been made to the Health Minister by
the World Health Organization under Part III of the International Health
Regulations in relation to the declaration listed human disease--to give
effect to the recommendation.

Not necessarily. They have said there will be legislation and that will
probably happen, and it'd be better if it wa sin place as that is
significantly harder to change but as it stands, the Determination gives
the sort of protections that were promised.

No paranoia it is just that we haven't been given the information
promised and given this governments track record with implementing
computer systems I wouldn't trust them till the unintended consequences
are discovered.

Remember it's not paranoia if THEY are out to get you

Once the code has been looked at and the legislation in place + time has
occurred to iron out any problems I may reconsider.

Remember it's not paranoia if THEY are out to get you
True, but I really do doubt that anyone is (or will be) out to get the
few bits of info the app will give or crack into it for nefarious means
and especially as its been reverse engineered now by a number of techies
and they aren't concerned:
https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-feed/not-sure-whether-to-install-the-government-s-covidsafe-app-here-s-everything-we-know

But I' still wasn't concerned before they did that as all info is held
on the phone. That changes only to be accessible to the Health people
(or these mythical snoopers) after there has been notification to a
person's phone that they've been within that 1.5 m range for 15 minutes
of a covid-19 sufferer AND the contacted person has subsequently given
approval for their last 21 days of contact to be uploaded.

The chances of that happening is fairly low anyway I think but to go
even further for someone to actually want to snoop on such info is, IMO
probably less than zero because it all promises to be boring in the
extreme. Phone message comes through: Minnie Mouse (really Fran) was in
contact with Mary Kathleen for 25 minutes on Tuesday the 3rd. Go get a
covid-19 test! Big bloody deal! Mary Kathleen has already rung me and
told me she has Covid-19!

But of course ASIO, ASIS, ASD, AGO, DIO find this info scintillating and
have hacked into the information at the State level and have shared it
with the rest of the Five Eyes....... In a pig's ear....

Correction: You might reconsider once you figure out that your life is
as interesting and event laden as mine and other apps on your phone and
your computer say far more interesting thing to spooks and scammers than
the few things that the app does.

Legislation has been put in place by Parliament in relation to
the app as promised. All we have is a determination that Hunt
may be able to withdraw as easily as HE put it in place.
Indeed, he can change it easily at any time but you're currently
counting chickens where you only have eggs.
I'm just pointing out that the promised legislation and the
promised code are both going to be delivered in the future when
the app, obviously, is on people's phones
And I was pointing out that legislation may happen but
Determination already does what Legislation may cover.  Not that I
can see it matters if either of those things happen for the people
who declare that they won't be downloading it anyway.
just makes.me feel happier with my decision not to download it
:-))  You look fetching in that tin foil hat.
No paranoia it is just that we haven't been given the information
promised and given this governments track record with implementing
computer systems I wouldn't trust them till the unintended
consequences are discovered.
Remember it's not paranoia if THEY are out to get you
True, but I really do doubt that anyone is (or will be) out to get the
few bits of info the app will give or crack into it for nefarious means
and especially as its been reverse engineered now by a number of techies

But I' still wasn't concerned before they did that as all info is held
on the phone.  That changes only to be accessible to the Health people
(or these mythical snoopers) after there has been notification to a
person's phone that they've been within that 1.5 m range for 15 minutes
of a covid-19 sufferer AND the contacted person has subsequently given
approval for their last 21 days of contact to be uploaded.
The chances of that happening is fairly low anyway I think but to go
even further for someone to actually want to snoop on such info is, IMO
probably less than zero because it all promises to be boring in the
extreme. Phone message comes through: Minnie Mouse (really Fran) was in
contact with Mary Kathleen for 25 minutes on Tuesday the 3rd. Go get a
covid-19 test!  Big bloody deal!   Mary Kathleen has already rung me and
told me she has Covid-19!
But of course ASIO, ASIS, ASD, AGO, DIO find this info scintillating and
have hacked into the information at the State level and have shared it
with the rest of the Five Eyes.......  In a pig's ear....
You've called me a tin-hat wearing and paranoid but a prefer to see it
as healthy cynicism about people in authority telling me this is good
for me and there is nothing to worry about.

You might reconsider once you figure out that your life is
as interesting and event laden as mine and other apps on your phone and
your computer say far more interesting thing to spooks and scammers than
the few things that the app does.
Why give them another opportunity?

15 minutes isn't short enough for virus tracking; you can fuck someone
in that time.

But it is long enough to eliminate casual contacts. In 15 minutes, for
example, you can plot the overthrow of Show Day with your band of secret
Islamist brothers.

Such contact information will keep the spooks entertained indefinitely.

Not necessarily.  They have said there will be legislation and
that will probably happen, and it'd be better if it wa sin place
as that is significantly harder to change but as it stands, the
Determination gives the sort of protections that were promised.
I disagree because it can be rescinded much easier then
legislation but accept your point as it would be political
suicide and would ruin the app's usage if it was rescinded.

What logo's do they have on them? Anyhow this is a bullshit thread.
1) Fran's Star card is widely accepted
2) Caltex Australia is hasn't been owned by Chevron for awhile but were
allowed to retain the caltex signage.
3) the right to use Caltex as a brand nname has been withdrawn
4) In the next couple of years the Caltex servos will be renamed Ampol,
a company taken over by Caltex ages ago.

Shit eh, Caltex servos still exist for the moment and supply the fuel
for woolies in a partnership which as far as I can figure out is more
about the servo stores rather than the petrol.

about the servo stores rather than the petrol.

The Caltex name is owned by Chevron a US Company. When they sold their
50% of Caltex Aus they let Aus use the name for awhile. The use of
Caltex is has been withdrawn so they will change to Ampol Aus a Company
that they took over sometime ago

Caltex Australia is an Australian company listed on the ASX. It will

St. However they'll have to make the decision without me :-(

It was. Back in the late 50s-early 60s my mother had a partnership in an
Ampol roadhouse - she ran the restaurant. The Ampol stations were quite
common back in that era.

Indeed. BTW, I don't think Woolworths actually owned all the Caltex
service stations anyway. I seem to recall something to that effect in
the media a while ago. There are a few around this general area that
have no Woolworths badging at all. I suspect these are independents that
just sell Caltex brand petrol. Either that or they didn't bother
changing the signs.

I never *need to buy* the high octane fuel so I can't comment. All cars
I own run on 91 so I would not, in general, see a difference. Might get
a smoother idle but there would be no performance gain in me using 95 or
98. I have, at times, put in 20 litres of 98 but that's just to give the
injectors a bit of a clean. 98 has a much higher detergent levels and
definitely no ethanol admixture.
I should do that now while I'm hardly clocking up miles. That way the 98
will soak the injectors a lot more. ;-)

Not possible. The octane rating determination of all fuel sold in
Australia is a legal requirement and 95 just doesn't cut it. As well,
the 98 has much higher detergent levels because cars designed to use it
tend also to create more combustion chamber carbon deposits. That's why
the 98 has that higher detergent level.

You might want to argue that with the NRMA. They have carried out

of the fuel. BTW, a perceived increase in horsepower is a very

Not hard but worked out the same cost fuel wise to use 95 octane
instead of 91, The benefits are better for engine more miles per
gallon more horsepower,

I have found the NRMA don't give a shit about members, just interested
in selling fake claims. Went to a few NRMA approved motor mechanics
found them absolutely completely crooked, dangerous and complained to
NRMA about them, they then threatened legal action against me for
complaining!

And they email spam, send me their crap magazine advertising the worst
deals one can get involved with!

All Want from them is road service and car insurance, but shop around.

Don't get both compulsory 3rd party and full insurance together from
them.
One of my girls did minor damage to car bumper (slowly hit a tree on
my property trying to turn), they told me it would not affect full
insurance (true).But 3rd party they upped the cost by $1000 normally
around $300 because of $50 damage.
NRMA are just a scam.

subjective thing, swayed heavily by perceptions and biases.

1 litre should give around 10 kilometres (50 miles per gallon)
300K should need 30 litres refill as a target to consider
What sort of car? Also, your numbers are a bit shy of reality. At 10
litres per hundred, or 10 kilometres per litre, you are getting a tad
less than 30 mpg. 28.2 mpg to be a little more precise. You would need a
very efficient hybrid or a micro car to get anywhere near 50 mpg.
BTW, I did use imperial gallons, not US gallons which are smaller. 1 US
gallon = 3.785 litres whereas 1 Imperial gallon is 4.55 litres.
Just work it out yourself
I did and found staggering errors in your claims, one of which I pointed
out above.
Post by Petzl
Not hard but worked out the same cost fuel wise to use 95 octane
instead of 91, The benefits are better for engine more miles per
gallon more horsepower,
As I said, not worth the effort. And, if your engine doesn't have VVT,
then no gain at all.

I have found the NRMA don't give a shit about members, just interested
in selling fake claims. Went to a few NRMA approved motor mechanics
found them absolutely completely crooked, dangerous and complained to
NRMA about them, they then threatened legal action against me for
complaining!
I haven't had a problem with them.

Don't get both compulsory 3rd party and full insurance together from
them.
One of my girls did minor damage to car bumper (slowly hit a tree on
my property trying to turn), they told me it would not affect full
insurance (true).But 3rd party they upped the cost by $1000 normally
around $300 because of $50 damage.
She proved she couldn't drive effectively.

That's the way third party insurance is here in NSW. All the others do

Islamists behave the same way wherever they are allowed to infest.
They share tips and tricks on how to cheat the infidel. One of these
tips is that infidels never want to believe the extent and cynicism of
the islamist hatred toward them and to the west and its people. If the
infidel is given a choice between fighting for the truth with an
islamist, or paying him compensation as "piss off" money, they will
always take the latter. Another is that their religion sanctions any
illegal activity.

When you claim on your comprehensive insurance, all your car insurance
premiums can go up. The CTP will go up too. Happened to friends here and
highly likely if no other vehicle is involved or at fault.

I don't think it is talking about CTP but rather a separate 3rd party

worth insuring but she wanted coverage if she hit a Porsche. I only get
CTP and a insurance policy that covers my car and 3rd party damage.

Incorrect. You might want to rethink your ideas on greenslip/CTP.

Green slip prices
There are no pensioner concessions available on your greenslip.
Insurers use many factors to determine green slip prices. Pension
eligibility is not one of those factors. Information on setting
greenslip prices is on this site.

Registration costs
NSW registration is free for eligible pensioners.
NSW stamp duty and transfer fees are not payable by certain DVA
pensioners (those receiving a disability pension of 70% or higher,
TPI or EDA pensioners or those assessed under the Military
Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 at 50 or more impairment
points).
Pension concessions apply to one vehicle per eligible pensioner.

Don't get both compulsory 3rd party and full insurance together from
them.
One of my girls did minor damage to car bumper (slowly hit a tree on
my property trying to turn), they told me it would not affect  full
insurance (true).But 3rd party they upped the cost by $1000 normally
around $300 because of $50 damage.
Why did you make an insurance claim for $50?
You have to ask the question. Seems decidedly weird. Given my current
excess, a $50 claim would never have been made. You pay that over and
over again in increased premiums - 14 times in this case and that is
just for the first year.

An incident/claim on any other policy on a car *can* and does affect the

It can be safely assumed you were referring to a daughter. You need to
be *much clearer* in your scribblings, indeed, you didn't even
explicitly mention whose car it was.

Anyway, for an at fault accident where no other party is involved, the
premiums for comprehensive and CTP will both go up. The only time they
don't is when you can nominate the other driver. Did that recently when
my car was hit whilst parked. The woman driving the Ute did a runner,
pity about the CCTV. ;-) She will, has been charged. In Victoria, that
offence is two charges an automatic loss of licence - leaving the scene
of an accident and failing to exchange details. Don't know how it goes
here, I just claimed on my insurance, no penalty to me.

Lol, I know of at east one old teacher who taught analogue clocks for
decade who has trouble aoplying the concept of "clockwise" to threads and
caps.


FWIW, PHD's are about very narrow study/research.

I know of another PHD who's paper involved a lot of coding who made the
major mistake of not having a singular defiunution of constants and when
he need to change a constat, he spent months tracking down all the places
where he had hard written the constant. Good practise for years has been
to definit it as a variable just once and reference. He knew his area of
experise, but was only a poor coder.

BTW the legislation ensuring privacy and proper use of
the app by the Government will be enacted - sometime.
https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2020L00480
Unless Greg Hunt can pass legislation by himself those
are Regulations.
No, it's not a Regulation.
or more importantly Legislation. I read the Explanatory
Statement and you are correct it is a determination under
the Biosecurity Act 2015
My point stands
Sure it does.......
"BTW the legislation ensuring privacy and proper use of the
app by the Government will be enacted - sometime." is a
correct comment.
Not necessarily.  They have said there will be legislation and
that will probably happen, and it'd be better if it wa sin
place as that is significantly harder to change but as it
stands, the Determination gives the sort of protections that
were promised.
I disagree because it can be rescinded much easier then
legislation but accept your point as it would be political
suicide and would ruin the app's usage if it was rescinded.
??????  I said that legislation will probably happen and I was
making no point about the Determination being rescinded.  I
can't see any reason for that to happen.  It's jsut another form
of guarantee.  I was trying to tell you that the Determination
gives the same protection as legislation BUT, it IS easier to
change as it is a Ministerial Determination.
Post by Dechucka
No
Post by Dechucka
Legislation has been put in place by Parliament in relation
to the app as promised. All we have is a determination that
Hunt may be able to withdraw as easily as HE put it in place.
Indeed, he can change it easily at any time but you're
currently counting chickens where you only have eggs.
I'm just pointing out that the promised legislation and the
promised code are both going to be delivered in the future when
the app, obviously, is on people's phones
And I was pointing out that legislation may happen but
Determination already does what Legislation may cover.  Not that
I can see it matters if either of those things happen for the
people who declare that they won't be downloading it anyway.
just makes.me feel happier with my decision not to download it
:-))  You look fetching in that tin foil hat.
No paranoia it is just that we haven't been given the information
promised and given this governments track record with implementing
computer systems I wouldn't trust them till the unintended
consequences are discovered.
Remember it's not paranoia if THEY are out to get you
True, but I really do doubt that anyone is (or will be) out to get
the few bits of info the app will give or crack into it for
nefarious means and especially as its been reverse engineered now by

Post by Dechucka
Post by Fran
But I' still wasn't concerned before they did that as all info is
held on the phone.  That changes only to be accessible to the Health
people (or these mythical snoopers) after there has been
notification to a person's phone that they've been within that 1.5 m
range for 15 minutes of a covid-19 sufferer AND the contacted person
has subsequently given approval for their last 21 days of contact to
be uploaded.
The chances of that happening is fairly low anyway I think but to go
even further for someone to actually want to snoop on such info is,
IMO probably less than zero because it all promises to be boring in
the extreme. Phone message comes through: Minnie Mouse (really Fran)
was in contact with Mary Kathleen for 25 minutes on Tuesday the 3rd.
Go get a covid-19 test!  Big bloody deal!   Mary Kathleen has
already rung me and told me she has Covid-19!
But of course ASIO, ASIS, ASD, AGO, DIO find this info scintillating
and have hacked into the information at the State level and have
shared it with the rest of the Five Eyes.......  In a pig's ear....
You've called me a tin-hat wearing and paranoid but a prefer to  see
it as healthy cynicism about people in authority telling me this is
good for me and there is nothing to worry about.
Yes, I have heard what you've been saying BUT I can't understand why
you and others keep wittering on about how concerned you about
security. Ordog keeps his phone in a drawer so he is the only person
with a legitimate case to whinge and he hasn't done so.
Anyone who has a phone, uses it, has ever downloaded an app and/or
uses a computer (and especially has a Facebook page) is just being
unrealistic and precious in wittering on about privacy and security.

So far I have found Saltex/Woolworths only sell REAL fuel.
Many of the low cost variety put substitution for "petrol" they can
buy them for as low as 10 cents a litre and fucks your car engine.

You can tell when you are not burning fuel only by going to back of
car while it's running and see if it smells funny,
if it does you are not burning petrol!

Around here, Caltex is one of the cheaper ones. The only ones lower are
United and Liberty. There is a little independent servo selling BP that
is lowest. It's the only one selling under $1.00.

I disagree because it can be rescinded much easier then
legislation but accept your point as it would be political
suicide and would ruin the app's usage if it was rescinded.

Hunt may be able to withdraw as easily as HE put it in place.
Indeed, he can change it easily at any time but you're
currently counting chickens where you only have eggs.
I'm just pointing out that the promised legislation and the
promised code are both going to be delivered in the future when
the app, obviously, is on people's phones
And I was pointing out that legislation may happen but
Determination already does what Legislation may cover.  Not that
I can see it matters if either of those things happen for the
people who declare that they won't be downloading it anyway.

IMO probably less than zero because it all promises to be boring in

You've called me a tin-hat wearing and paranoid but a prefer to  see
it as healthy cynicism about people in authority telling me this is

Yes, I have heard what you've been saying BUT I can't understand why
you and others keep wittering on about how concerned you about
security. Ordog keeps his phone in a drawer so he is the only person
with a legitimate case to whinge and he hasn't done so.
Anyone who has a phone, uses it, has ever downloaded an app and/or

unrealistic and precious in wittering on about privacy and security.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is is a couple of them:

Do security experts still have concerns about the COVIDSafe app?
Security experts do still have concerns about the COVIDSafe app. As for whether those security concerns should stop you from installing the app, experts say it really depends on your individual circumstances. Here's why.

Last week, before the app was released, The Feed spoke to privacy expert Professor Dali Kaafar, who is the Executive Director of the Optus Macquarie University Cyber Security Hub. Professor Kaafar outlined a number of the privacy concerns raised by an app like COVIDSafe, many of which still apply to the app today.

One key concern raised by Kaafar and other experts is the fact that data collected by the app will be uploaded to a central server. As Professor Kaafar told The Feed, whoever has access to the central server of an app like this has access to a huge amount of information. If that server is hacked, or accessed by someone malicious, there's a lot they can do with this information.

Read more:
Covid - 19
Privacy experts are concerned about the government’s coronavirus tracing app. Here’s why.
Since the app's release, other privacy experts like ANU Associate Professor Vanessa Teague have pointed out other concerning information that the app records and shares. For instance, the Australian app stores the make and model of the different phones and devices it encounters in plain text, readable to anyone with access to the phone and a little tech savvy.

"Although it may seem innocuous, the exact phone model of a person's contacts could be extremely revealing information," Teague and colleagues wrote in a blog post on Monday.

"Suppose for example that a person wishes to understand whether another person whose phone they have access to has visited some particular mutual acquaintance. The controlling person could read the (plaintext) logs of COVID Safe and detect whether the phone models matched their hypothesis."

"Although not very useful for suggesting a particular identity, it would be very valuable in confirming or refuting a theory of having met with a particular person."

Professor Kaafar is also concerned that the central authority may receive more information than a user realises. As Kaafar explained, if Person A is diagnosed with coronavirus and consents to upload their contacts, they may reveal that they recently hung out with Person B and Person C. The central authority now knows that Person B and Person C met, but neither of those people are necessarily aware that this information has been shared.

This, Professor Kaafar says, is where individual circumstances come in.

"This information might not really be sensitive for lots of people, but it might be really important for others. For example, two politicians from two different political parties who are meeting, or a journalist and a politician meeting."

Professor Kaafar says that many of these privacy issues could be fixed by relatively small changes to the app; an international coalition of experts has also pointed out that it's possible to create a tracing app that does not upload information to a central authority at all.

Until those changes are made, Professor Kaafar told The Feed he personally will not be installing the app, but he's not quite sure what to advise other Australians to do.

"Whether I would be recommending installing it or not, I really don't know -- I actually find it to be a really tricky question," he said.

"I think the government has taken some privacy considerations into perspective, but it didn't hit some of the major ones. It did try to have some good intentions, though, for example to make sure that the location is not collected, and that the data will definitely be removed after 21 days."

"I think one important thing is that privacy is very personal. Some co-location information might be really sensitive for some people, and for others it might be completely irrelevant."

"I can't really give a binary recommendation here, but I will be sitting and waiting. We need a little more transparency on the tech and legislative aspects."

Should I install COVIDSafe?
Here's the upshot. The COVIDSafe app was rushed for a reason: we're in the midst of a pandemic. If we want to start opening up society again, being able to quickly identify anyone who may have been exposed to a new case of COVID-19 is crucial.

If enough Australians download this app and use it correctly, it's possible that it will really help out in this regard. But in order for the app to be effective, the government says at least 40 per cent of Australians need to be using it, if not more. That's close to 10 million people who need to sign up; as of Monday evening, we have just shy of two million.

Your personal decision about whether to use the app will probably hinge on what privacy means to you -- and as Professor Kaafar stressed, this is a personal call.

"What frustrates me the most in this sort of debate is putting this as a dilemma between 'helping people' and 'privacy'," he said. "It's really very bad to be positioning this as if people who care about privacy are selfish, while the others are okay."

David Vaile is the Stream lead for data protection and surveillance at the Allens Hub for Technology, Law and Innovation at UNSW. "In principle for something like this that potentially creates a centralised store of social graph information, reliant on legal and technical fixes for protection, you would advise caution," he said. "The public health concerns are however also very important, which is why it is hard."

If you ultimately decide that COVIDSafe isn't for you right now, remember that there's potential for plenty of this to change as the app is updated and improved. We'll keep you posted as that happens.

People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others and gatherings are limited to two people unless you are with your family or household.

If you believe you may have contracted the virus, call your doctor (don't visit) or contact the national Coronavirus Health Information Hotline on 1800 020 080. If you are struggling to breathe or experiencing a medical emergency, call 000.

SBS is committed to informing Australia's diverse communities about the latest COVID-19 developments. News and information is available in 63 languages at sbs.com.au/coronavirus.

The medical staff were that scared of it.

A POPULAR viral video in which a Wuhan woman claims she witnessed
critically ill coronavirus patients being cremated alive is "false
information", fact checkers say.

In the video circulating on social media this week, the woman - filmed
sitting in the back of a car apparently having returned from hospital
- described how she witnessed patients in the room next door being
sealed up in body bags.

Backdown Barnaby is against the app. He assured us that someone somewhere is/will be hacking into the app . He obviously values his privacy heaps; maybe he has lots of girlfriends (one of whom bore him a child some yrs ago).
Releasing the source code will make the hackers' job easier.

Not with blue tooth. wouldn't be hard to set up a laptop to receive
information from any Mobile with the APP

What you get
• Registration information: a name, mobile phone number, age range and
post code.
• Close contact information: encrypted reference code, date and time,
proximity and duration of contact.
• App logs: app performance, troubleshooting and error data.
