In Australia it was proposed by the Labor government and it was the Greens who passed the Digital ID bill. (Labor needed either the Greens or Conservatives on board).
It was the conservatives who opposed it (similar to when Conservatives opposed the Australia Card in the 80’s).
My best guess is that like 99% of Aussies don’t seem to give a rat’s ass about politics so as long as the parliament does things that loosely resemble working nobody’s gonna ask questions 😅

Even the EU is. It’s looking bleak in that department.
