The CitizenGo petition is now available for signing at the link in the Nation First link below. It requests Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Reserve Bank Governor Michele Bullock to abandon any plans for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in Australia, and to preserve cash. The reasons for doing this are many, all revolving around the protection of both privacy and freedom.
The Optus outage earlier in the month led to chaos with people not being able to make non-cash transactions, and stores having signs up “Cash Only.” That should be a stark warning, if anything, that a fully digital economy will be vulnerable. The Optus outage was not due to hacking it seems, but hacking and cyber-terrorism, sponsored by communist China, is on the increase, as a lead up to what Chinas intends to do in World War III. Recently Israel, a highly sophisticated IT society, suffered major outages from hackers. If it could happen there, it will happen here in Australia as well.
