More from Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie’s interview on ABC just now – she hasn’t downloaded the COVIDsafe app and doesn’t plan to.

But her reasons for steering clear of the health tracking effort were… unclear.

“They don’t have a good track record in the path, the Coalition, with keeping information where it’s supposed to be,” Senator Lambie said. “That’s a bit of a trust issue.”

When pressed, the independent admitted that she hasn’t “signed up” for the app but defended her decision, saying that she’s “in complete lockdown”.

“Trust me, I'm not venturing anywhere.

“I do have the lady that I’m sharing my house with at the moment, she has the app loaded on her phone. We are keeping a very, very close eye on it.”

Her hesitation aside, Senator Lambie that she wants to see more people sign up.

“I would like to see it grow,” she said.

She was pressed on her specific problems with the COVIDsafe app and her explanation was fairly confusing.

“I just think there is way too much of our own information up there, floating around in cyberspace. We have seen cyberattacks going on. That's always… that will be a row for the future.

“In the meantime, you know, to stay politically alive for me, it doesn't take much to do tracing on Jacqui Lambie. Go to her social media. You know?

“So, it is just… how much more information do we have to get out, give out these IT systems. There is information floating everywhere, I think. That is a worry.

“It is also – we have seen information from the government, like I said before, that was basically told it was there for one thing and it's been used for other (purposes) along the way to pass out to other agencies.”

Later in the interview, she added: “I’m just a bit worried about the data.”

Senator Lambie also questioned the 40 per cent figure – that is, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he wants to see 40 per cent of Australians download and use the app before he’s comfortable easing social distancing restrictions

“Where did the 40 per cent (figure) come from? They flicked it out of the air. I don’t think it’s near enough. In other parts of the world, they are saying you need 80 per cent.”

She revealed that she met with the Prime Minister’s Office today for a briefing about the app but remained unconvinced about the privacy protections promised by the government.
