Edited People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. They will be texted at random times and have 15 minutes to respond with a picture of their face at the location where they are supposed to be. If they fail to respond the police will be sent to follow up in person.
Australia has gone full Orwellian."

15 minutes to respond? What if you were taking a nap? The police would come to your house and arrest you?

They should have had a revolution by now.

They lost their freedom when they surrendered their guns. The tyrants have just been carefully slow to rub it in.
