Salisbury smart cities controversy

Since 2020, the City of Salisbury, in the northern Adelaide suburbs of South Australia, has developed a smart cities initiative called Digital Salisbury 2027. The proposal of the initiative received community protests and became associated with a broad range of conspiracy theories about mass surveillance, digital identities, New World Order, artificial intelligence and COVID lockdowns. Two councillors who were involved in the conspiracy theories and protests were later removed from the council for breaches of the Local Government Act 1999 (SA). They have appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of South Australia.
