Not sure if true but apparently the guy running My Health in Aus ran care.data in the uk(same thing) which sold private info to drug companies etc and was shut down in 2016. Big debarcle

While I do believe, in this instance, the individual in mind is telling the truth when he says he’s doing it for ideological reasons, it remains interesting that even a Liberal Party MP is personally opting out: http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-0...cebook_Organic

I can't opt out, need to delete mine. Must have been signed up automatically when I had to setup my mygov account. Sneaky bastards. Not happy.
I was going to opt in, I've used so many different GP's over the years, it would be good to have a consistent medical history when visiting someone new.
Now I'm not so sure

It’s about target visability. Your GP is a small target amongst thousands of small targets. The probability that someone will go after it is low.
However a centralised government database with the names and health records of millions of Australian citizens? That’s a high profile/high reward target that will almost certainly be under constant cyber attack from all over the world. Not to mention the risks of what the government may decide to do with the data in the future.

The government doesn’t have a stellar record of keeping our data safe. I don’t trust them with this. The cons outweigh the pros.
Who do you trust to do a better job of security? A local GP clinic or the Australian government? If you answered a local GP then you are insane.
No networked security is perfect, but at least the government has security personnel on staff. Your local GP on the other hand could very well terrible security and you would never know it.
Frankly if my records have to be in someone's cloud I'd rather the one with a known good level of security, not a GP that could have extremely terrible security.
