The COVIDSafe app was useless,
Aidan,
I wouldn't say useless, just obsolete now that the jabs did what they were designed to do !
Sadly, as you et al so clearly demonstrate, the jabs did not solve the problem of ignorance & educated silliness !

Indy,
'Twas incapable of doing what it was designed to do. In my state it was effectively replaced by contact tracing QR codes long before the vaccines were available.
And of course the vaccines didn't work as well as hoped either.

Aidan,

If you assume it was meant to do what it was advertised to do, then, yes, it was a monumental and costly failure - aka a government run programme.

But if you assume that it was meant to be just a placebo for the covid hysterics, then it was spectacularly successful.

And of course the vaccines didn't work as well as hoped either.
Aidan,
What makes you think that ? Just because the results aren't 100% is no indication that the vaccines & the masks didn't work ?

Pushing the Covid vaccines gave them the excuse to hand out the Covid
Citizen Approval Apps, so they could test them and iron out any problems with them.

The App was always planned to use on the New Digital IDs they have tabled in Parliament at the moment.
So they can block your Access to your Bank Accts if you don't comply with government demands or speak out against the Govt
