Senator Pauline Hanson in 2017 is calling for the introduction of an Identity Card for everyone who uses Government services, for the purpose of somehow reducing welfare fraud.

Concealment of identity when exposing fraud and malpractice has long been an issue for whistleblowers. That has partly been resolved by disguising their voice. We experiment with a further level of concealment - concealing the interviewer as well, by replacing their
voice with an anonymous synthetic voice.

We also explore synthesising an interview - using answers from a real interview but splicing them with new questions spoken by an anonymous interviewer voice.
