ABC put up some interest points today.
The app does not track where you’ve been.
It only responds if you’ve been in contact with a known virus carrier who also has the app.
You need to
Have been within 1.5 metres contact for something like 15 minutes for the app to register.
It also Stated the government will be giving the source code over to independent experts to analyze re: the privacy concerns.

Key points:
- The Government's coronavirus app will track contact with other people, not your location
- It will automatically collect the phone number, name, age and postcode of a person you are physically near for more than 15 minutes
- This information is encrypted and stored locally on your phone. It will only be uploaded to a central government server if you test positive to coronavirus
