Could it be that Google & Apple want to be seen to be cooperating with governments re Covid-19 while not encouraging technology or concerns about privacy which might impact their corporate profits? Surely not? It would be far better for Australia to develop its' own "Privacy-Preserving Contact Tracing Protocol" according to rules which could be enforced by legislated penalties, as I understand was done for the unfortunate CovidSafe app. And the EU provide a better model. Tom, could your students develop an Australian prototype protocol and demonstrate its' practicability?
