Right now, because Opal cards are the property of New South Wales Government, it is not clear whether or not Meow-Meow owns the arm his Opal chip is implanted in, or whether it is owned by the Government.
Um, he owns the arm, they own the chip?...
Does the Government have the right to force a person into having a surgical procedure? Because that is what would have needed to happen to remove the deactivated hardware from Meow-Meow’s body.
~Um, perhaps don't permanently install hardware inside your body that is owned and operated by a third party? Have I missed something?

This case is not about Opal cards, it is about the sovereignty an individual has over their own body.
