The Australian government plans to introduce a Digital ID bill in the House of Representatives on May 15, aiming to expand the digital ID system for use by state and territory governments and the private sector. This move comes after the bill passed the Senate with support from Labor, Greens, Jacquie Lambie, and others. The expansion is expected to reduce personal detail storage by third parties and tackle identity theft, with $288.1 million allocated over the next four years for further rollout of digital IDs through myGov.
