Aussie Senator: Smart Cities Are a Trap—You’ll Be Tracked, Scored, and Denied Without Digital ID

Australian senator Alex Antic warns that the roll-out of smart city technologies—including facial recognition cameras, social credit systems, CBDCs and digital ID—is laying the foundation for a "dystopian digital future".

"Your streets are spying on you, your mobile phone is spying on you, your cities are spying on you, and the infrastructure for future lockdowns is being put into place right now."

"You're being set up to be tracked through your movements, and through the future of your digital wallets. By handing over your data, you're handing over the ability to monitor your behaviour, which will soon be turned into a social credit score."

"And once the central bank digital currencies are in place, you won't get to spend your money without approval."

"Eventually, you won't be able to access any government or public services, and you won't be able to travel across borders or access healthcare or the internet without a digital ID."

"You think you won't comply? I think you will."
