25: Government & Web3 - Digital identity on the blockchain is happening in Australia

Interview with the Honourable Victor Dominello – Minister for Customer Service. The NSW government is a world leader in “citizen-centric government”. Find out about some of remarkable technology-firsts from the NSW government including the digital drivers licence and data analytics projects that have put money back in the pockets of citizens literally. The interview really takes off when the Minister talks about the launch of the blockchain-based Building Trust Index – imagine a digital twin of all buildings on the blockchain so you can see all the products and vendors that were involved in building that building. We then cover what is likely to be the Minister’s greatest legacy, a government-backed digital identity project based on Web3 architecture – due to be delivered in February 2023. With this innovation, every citizen will truly own their personal data and be able to completely control who gets access to what elements of your data.
