What I welcome about this is the levels of efficiency. It has been a protracted process, it is an archaic system and we want to modernise it.
The concerns include cyber attacks and data protection. Breaches would be devastating. I want to get more of a sense of the lessons to be learned from the other common law jurisdictions which have implemented this. Without a paper trail, what security can one have?
There are citizens who would not be as averse to using technology as others. In terms of equality, this is a key function of society. Would there be an alternative? Would it have to be electronic? How would there be protection for the rights of those who are not as proficient as their neighbour?
