And that’s where I can see people having concerns. By voting Yes, you are opening the door for a model that you may not agree with. I can see people being hesitant about it, like it’s a trap. But that’s just my devil’s advocate opinion, the fact is that this will unlikely affect anyone who isn’t ingenious in a tangible way.

It’s well overdue for us to genuinely celebrate our indigenous heritage and ensure our constitution allows us to embed this culture into our country’s DNA.

Is it though? No offence but the vast majority of “people” do not know authentication well enough to be given their choice of login method.

And when we entrust non-security vendors to implement their own authentication, you get situations like ServiceNSW encrypting and storing credentials with a 4 digit pin.

If a bank wants to use a security vendor to strengthen their authentication, that’s better than the alternative, I’d prefer that to what I have experienced with one of the big 4 where they still use SMS.

Some vendors would allow you to skin their SDK to essentially have your own version of their app published, but that is a lot of work and has its own security risks.

There isn’t really a BYO app that gives you the functionality a vendor app can give.

Good MFA is harder than people think.

Getting the user to use their app is pretty important. You may only be using TOTP now, but it allows for more intelligent multi factor authentication later on.

E.g. the app could check your risk profile, like where you’re accessing from and if any impossible travel took place. They may add multi step auth like push notifications or biometrics.

By letting customers use Google authenticator you are limiting MFA to only TOTP. MFA isn’t just an on and off switch anymore.

Snowy Hydro 2.0 was something he backed heavily whilst in power. He has also invested and advocate considerably in renewables since leaving politics. Compare that to your regular run of the mill politician like Gladys or Baird swanning into telcos and banking, or the others jumping into gambling industries.

Also, why are you downplaying him talking about climate change? It’s one of his best assets, he holds huge influence. Would you prefer he install solar panels? Get real. You just want someone to hate but are completely misguided.

He did do something about it. But it’s very easy to paper over that argument in an echo chamber.

Whats more is that he continues to do something about it in the private sector. This is after losing his prime ministership for trying to do something about it at the political level.

What have you done?
