Digital Economy Shadow Minister Paul Fletcher says a stronger “digital identity” for the nation would be necessary as personal information leaks have continued in Australia.
“The idea is that you would have what’s called a trusted digital identity provider,” Mr Fletcher said.
“This basic principle that if there’s a trusted digital identity provider, that we all have one that we choose to use, certifies digitally to the company you’re establishing an account with, that’s more efficient but it also means that lots of companies no longer are holding all your personal information.”
