Do All Australians in Cambodia Know about the 'My Health' Record Scheme?

Post by prahocalypse now »

Do all Australians know about this?

Basically, unless you contact the Australian government before October 15, an electronic record of your medical history will go online.

That means government employees, the police, medical practitioners, Russian hackers, et al. will be able to access your records and find out about all the STDs you caught from southeast Asian hookers, all the times you overdosed on heroin, that time you slipped over in the shower and landed on the shampoo bottle and had to go to ER to have it removed from your anus, that 'accident' with the vacuum cleaner, and all the times you visited your GP to get prescriptions for erectile disfunction and anti-flatulence medication.

What the...? I thought you were joking, but I guess not.

After many opted out stating ourage/concern about sharing the info with police without a search warrant (as well as usual security/privacy issues), they backed down and said police will need a warrant.
I still opted out.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

I would opt out of such a scheme... no assurances agencies can not access that information.
