buy my vote

the government is offering cash to parents of schoolchildren.

Forget that the money could have gone directly to each State School to, for example, subsidise a school uniform for each student. This cash bribe is similar to the cash for your vote offer to Seniors.

To get the Seniors cash, first provide a massive amount of personal data. Enough data, including proof of identity and full bank details, to allow even a moderately competent criminal to steal your identity.

All this personal data will then be stored on a government server. Which may as well have a "hack me" target painted on the side.

Expect to receive your bribe... closely followed by notification that your entire bank balance has been transferred to an unknown overseas destination.

btw: money to subsidise a school uniform would also buy the vote of Seniors with a grandchild at school.
