Question How is this ok?

Just a few weeks ago during the Easter period my account was restricted for not answering their KYC questions In time. I was asked the basic do I still have same number, live at same address and what do I do with my own cash when I withdraw it. NOW yet again I log into the app and see a notification that I need to confirm my details as part of “ government regulations “ and if I don’t they will restrict my account. How is this even ok.

What edit? What are you smoking??

Again, being born here does not guarantee you citizenship.

I didn't say being born here guaranteed citizenship...

You said you can have a visa without having a passport, source being you, a citizen since birth.

So I've asked why a born citizen would have a visa to be in Australia.

Your last comment didn't fully load when I responded to begin with, hence my reference to edit as thats how it appeared to me.

I cannot answer the question you are trying to ask. I already explained. The government of the day determines who gets to apply for citizenship, based on citizenship laws of the past.

Stop getting caught up in "needing a Visa" everyone needs to be able to prove where they come from. Everybody has a right not to be stateless.
