It won't work. With only 17% of Singapore residents using a similar app, 
I would expect the Australian take up to be less than 10%. This is far 
short of the 80% needed for the App to be effective.

I suggest modifying the App to not store the data outside the phone, and 
releasing the source code. Also someone who is competent in IT, and 
credible, should  be the public spokesperson for the project, not a 
government minister.
