My MP @RowanRamseyMP has a "#MyHealthRecord" given the all clear article in the local paper & now I have to respond /1 
And my first response is yes, older white men on six figures with fab pension plans certainly don't have privacy as their #1 priority... but that feels a bit snarky... /2
And then I think about how incredibly vulnerable some people in my area are. And how incredibly nosey and gossipy people in my area are. /3
And how the digital literacy in this area, in the electorate of @RowanRamseyMP is. It's rural SA. I don't actually think they even measure the region properly. I've struggled to find the data.
No where in the "job's right mate" article does it talk about how people will actually manage access permissions, how once you let an org access it they are in, how if you want granular access to #MyHealthRecord YOU have to manage it.
I would welcome @RowanRamseyMP having a public demonstration on how he manages the privacy on his record & to take ten local people through it. I'll organise the set up and the devices and the people and the coffee
This isn't #auspol snark. This is serious concern at the impact of people with low digital literacy in small communities being told to stop questioning the naysayers and to trust the tech. If that's the political rock people will stand on then transparency of the tech matters
I do need to respond. But writing a letter to the editor that people will understand will be hard. Ill share it. Ideas welcome. I'm trying to think of (tech or non tech) analogies people will get.
