Hey #opensource and #freedom lovers in #australia . You need to hear about @[email protected] 's request to get the source code for the MyGov token app. https://openmygov.au/
He needs funding: https://www.pozible.com/project/mygov-app-source-code-foi-review-1/updates
Why does this matter? Because you trust the MyGov token app to secure your access to MyGov services. It _should_ be a very simple thing to do - there are already well known public standards for implementing this. But then, if that's the case, why are Services Australia claiming that this would 'endanger national security' to release the source code?
Let's hope it's as simple as: because someone might get embarrassed to have their code published.
Because at the moment it's going to cost Fraser a fair bit of money to get anywhere on the appeal to the Administrative Review Tribunal, especially when they decide that this is so secret that it has to be discussed under the "Intelligence and Security Jurisdictional Area".
Anything you can donate to help Fraser out helps here. Unfortunately, with Pozible, it's an all or nothing thing - either he makes his goal, or he gets nothing.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue
