Well not quite.
The statement is technically false but factually true in the 'news' sense.
The Australian Government's Pravda or Xinhua News Agency equivalents for Russia and China respectively is the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).
Corporations vie for your data, where ultimately it's all about control, with an entrepreneurial mix of surveillance capitalism, a much better use of cannon fodder rather than the archaic practice of wasting good meat.
You (the product) are an almost endless supply of revenue for the corporations from the data you've generated during your life on your smartphone and other sources where you can be identified, even after you're long gone.
In a web browser with blockers this threat can be mitigated, whereas in an (closed source) app you do not know what sort of 'nasties' they've programmed into the code, that's why they always push/entice/'force' you to use an app.
The 'Australian Government' and various other so called authorities 'force' you to use their app, as shown during the current (never ending?) so called global health situation, where you were required to use a smartphone with a tracking app otherwise you were excluding from conducting commerce in this colony.
You (the people) are in an abusive, domestic violence relationship with your government, but that's another topic for another post.
In any event Australia is part of the top tier 'Five Eyes' global data hoovering fascist states.
See how much Murdoch tracks you within the post:
