People who don’t download the government’s COVIDSafe tracing app should not get the benefit of relaxed restrictions, argues David Koch, suggesting people should have to prove they have the app before being allowed back into pubs.

Kochie told David & Will on Monday’s FIVEAA breakfast show he found it “mind boggling” that some people hadn’t signed up for the app after it was deemed secure by “17 of our top cyber experts”.

“If we want to go back to some semblance of a normal life these are the sorts of things that we’re going to have to do,” Kochie said.

“If you dip out everybody else does the heavy lifting for it, so why don’t you join the cub? I put up the theory that if you’re not on the app and restrictions are loosened, well, you’re not part of those…

“Once they lift restrictions on going to the pub I think you should have to show at the door that you’ve got the app because you’ve done the right thing.

“Maybe there’s a consequence for not doing the heavy lifting with the rest of the community.”
