Yes, but Social Media apps can derive location data through other means, including time zone and language settings, visible WiFi Access Points, not to mention GPS.
The Libs passed the legislation because they're corrupt.
Labor passed it because they're incompetent.
Either way, it's likely that the AustGov will be the gatekeepers of 'onboarding' and re-verification of existing users.
It's a disgrace.

Generally, truckies just talk to each other on UHF40 (or 29) to arrange safe overtaking.
But a turn signal has always been a warning signal. It points to where one should never be.
It's not uncommon, though, for a truck that has *already* executed an overtaking manoeuvre to 'thank' the vehicle now behind them with an R-L-R-L combo of single flashes, *after* they're back on the correct side of the road.
Some truckies add a 'flourish' of one or two 'hazard light' flashes to the end of the sequence.
But, in all my years on the roads, I've only heard of recently deceased idiots who've tried overtaking a truck that has had its right-hand indicator on.
Things may have changed in the last decade, but FIIK why!

(In case it isn't obvious, the following applies to Australia, where we drive on the left.)
I've done hundreds of thousands of clicks on country roads, and the right-turn signal has NEVER meant that it is 'safe to pass'. Never.
Most indicator stalks allow drivers to apply pressure and thus activate a turn signal's bulb, without "locking on" the relay.
This allows drivers to manually produce two or three pairs of LEFT flashes of the LEFT indicator. Like, L-L (1 sec pause) L-L (1 sec pause) L-L.
That has always been understood that the driver in front is saying, to the following driver, "I know you're there. I'm not turning off, but if you want to pass, it's clear ahead, and I'll be looking out for you."
The right-turn signal has ALWAYS ONLY meant, "Danger. Do NOT overtake me."
More than a few times, I've been in trucks with several tonnes of explosives and an impatient passenger coach, or cara-bloody-van, starts showing too much of their grill in the right hand mirror.
Giving them the L-L pattern has let them know it is clear to pass, but the right-turn signal coming on has ALWAYS meant, "Nup. No way. Don't be a bloody fool. Cool ya jets."

Thanks!
That's madness. If I had to live in the NT again, I'd make sure I went into a different bottle shop every day, take about $200 worth of whatever up to the counter, and then walk out, leaving the drinks behind and taking my cash with me.
But you could be sure my home brew would never run out.
Is it a requirement to merely "present" I.D. or are the details of the I.D. also recorded at the POS?

You may have missed aldimobile.com.au
Telstra Network reseller.
Actually, that link looks like it is for "NBN RSP Pricing.xlsx" and Aldi doesn't sell that, so...
... yeah, what beeng said:
Ya gotta link?

One solution could be to make terms such as 'news' or 'current affairs' or 'journalism' protected terms.
Anybody can claim to be a "nutritionist" but only those with actual recognised qualifications may describe themselves as "dieticians".
The news media could be given tax breaks under the strict condition they produce only accurate and unbiased journalism.
"Advertorials", and "puff pieces" would be banned and if a news organisation broke the rules, they would be fined heavily and lose their tax breaks.
Thoughts?
