If I am driving, yes you need to be able to prove your identity. If I am walking down the street, I should not have to unless there is "probable cause" (probably and American term). You are sliding down a slope there, not far from "papers please".
I choose to turn location services on my phone, i should not be made to. I choose to not have my real name on Facebook. Unless doing something that requires licensing I should be able to choose to remain anonymous. Choice is critical to our way of life.

The Public Health Powers are very broad, and allow Authorised Officers to do any of the following, if necessary to do so to eliminate or reduce the risk to public health:
- close any premises;
- direct a person or group to enter, not to enter, to remain at, or to leave, any particular premises;
- without a warrant, enter any premises and search for and seize any thing;
- request information, including names and addresses;
- inspect any premises;
- require the cleaning or disinfection of any premises;
- require the destruction or disposal of anything; or
- direct the owner or occupier of any premises, or any other person, to take particular actions.
