I think that in the big picture, COVIDSafe failing over these issues was a good thing: Hopefully, it will encourage future governments to take a more transparent approach and respect people's privacy, because (maybe for the first time in recent history), there's a concrete, demonstrated downside to trying to do the opposite.

> …there’s a concrete, demonstrated downside to trying to do the opposite. I feel this way about so much of the things that have happened with COVID. We have such an opportunity to learn so much here but looking at how we’re handling the outbreaks in real time doesn’t give me a lot of hope. At this point we know which actions or lack of actions will lead to an outbreak and those communities still do little to mitigate. Combine this with how we continually do the wrong things on so many other issues and then cry crocodile tears when we get the same results, I’m just not sure we’ll behave differently next time.
