Western Australia to expand vaccine passport into full digital ID
The Western Australian government last month announced plans to expand its vaccine passport into a “one-stop shop” digital ID, according to a report by PerthNow. The app will also act as a SmartRider travel pass, driver’s license and senior’s card, among other uses.
“We’re looking at putting in there a digital senior’s card, digital SmartRider, emergency bushfire alerts — they’re all being explored,” said Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan. “In the longer term we could look at a digital driver’s license, vehicle registration, getting your bills and paying them (and) paying fines and infringements.”
To use the app, users must first create a digital identity by entering two government-issued identity cards, such as a driver’s license and passport, in the myGovID app.
With the COVID-19 vaccine passport program now only mandated in hospitals and residential care facilities, McGowan is looking to re-purpose the app using the AU$4.7 million budget.
The news lends credence to what has been discarded by corporate media and other elites as a conspiracy theory.
As reported by America’s Frontline News, the vaccine passports have conditioned many to show their mobile phone to gain entry everywhere, even to a supermarket. Arguably, vaccine passports were not an end in themselves. They were a pathway to a global digital ID.
A digital ID is also central to the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) globalist agenda. The Great Reset agenda entails a digital transformation of countries and their citizens, which requires three elements: digital IDs, digital payments and data governance.
“Digital ID, digital payments, and data governance are each important individually. Together, they add up to a powerful public good,” says the WEF on its website.
Many have pointed out that they add up to total control by governments. Whether that control is used for the “public good” or not is at the discretion of said government.
A 2020 video by WEF enthusiast and digital ID wallet maker Thales Group illustrated a future with digital IDs. Though the video was created before the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, Thales group made it clear that mandatory vaccination is linked to digital IDs.
In the video, the digital ID is used by generating and scanning QR codes, which countries around the world – including many in Europe – have begun using to verify citizens’ identities through their vaccine passports.
“Covid-19 health passes can open the door to a digital ID revolution,” was the title of an article on Thales Group’s blog last year.
