I’m as pessimistic about govt initiatives as you. But when you dig into the some of the details of TEx. It’s actually not that bad. I can’t audit their code base, but it’s seems more like a decentralised identifier (like IOTAs https://www.iota.org/solutions/digital-identity).

The result is you can’t just hack a centralised database and get everyone’s information like the Optus leak. The credentials are stored locally on device and you can share a cryptographic token that proves you have a valid Medicare number, or are of age, but don’t actually have to reveal that information.
