Interesting info I found out regarding how the app. it's being randomly checked by authorities on movements of people who venture beyond 20K.
Was talking to a friend at work and advised me one of his close friends have to travel a bit far to do a quote.
The person went over 20km away from home. A few days later received a message for him to confirm the reason of this particular movement!
(wasnt sure if he couldnt that he would be fined or this is false or not). Been told its purely random they check that is conducted on individuals.
Has anyone else heard anything similar?

Your friend's friend is probably a victim of a hoax.

Half-baked: The COVIDSafe app is not fit for purpose on iPhones
The COVIDSafe app doesn't work on iPhones in the way it was sold to Australians - at least not yet. The question is why politicians chose to not communicate these issues clearly.
Telstra Tough also runs on Android 5 and is also non compatible. Seems the assumption is that we all change our phones out for a shiny new one every 6 months or so.
This is the same with new mygovID app ...that you need to access your business ATO records and BAs etc..... My Samsung is fine fir everything I need it for but no our mighty giv knows better...or thinks we are all public servants who update their phones every year. Of course ATO don't give a *smile*.. Yet another cost imposed on business by our overlords.
Australians have a deep-seated distrust of big brother collecting data about their personal lives, as exhibited during the Australia Card controversy in the 80’s. But if anyone finds it useful or interesting that on Sunday night LTRTR went to the supermarket, and on Wednesday he went to the post office and on Friday he went to the bank, good luck to them. A burglar, perhaps.
