The online safety act is a terrible piece of legislation, along with a variety of other ones promoted as being for "child safety" but having serious external consequences.

But they implemented that act, without needing a digital ID. I don't think they need a digital ID to push authoritarian policies.

And I think a digital ID has possible benefits for people who can't easily fit in to current setups, thus my point about it being orthogonal.
