I remember seeing that system when I was in the States. I guess it’s risky but a lot of people were up for it. People waited on the on-ramps and most would get a lift. The rule for passengers was “no chatting”!

Not sure why this bloke couldn’t get a real passenger.

What are you spending your money on? How much meat did you buy last week? Did you attend an anti-government protest? Are you up to date with vaccinations? Have you downloaded the non-mandatory digital ID app yet?

People laugh when it’s suggested that a China-style social credit rating system is a possible endpoint for a cashless society. It’s to keep us safe! It’s for our own good!

At present there is a pushback from the population and small businesses. So it won’t happen overnight but I fear it will happen in the longer term. Younger people are easy converts and the rest of us will be ignored.

Will Carlino plead not guilty?

If Police have irrefutable phone/location evidence to pin him at the crime scene he's likely going to have a hard time trying to prove his innocence.

Nearly 2 years later, Vincent Carlino pleaded guilty today in the NSW Supreme Court of domestic violence-related murder of Shereen Kumar.
