Read a snippet the other day that photo medicare cards are back on the agenda. IS this big brother with back door australia card or is it a good idea given the current world climate?

If it reduces fraud then I am all for it.
Apparently we are a favoured destination for visits by foriegners to use our medical system for surgical procedures which are unaffordable in a user based system or a less sophisticated medical system. Borrowed Medicare Cards make it a hell of a lot cheaper.

I agree with Simon, ever been asked for a 100 point ID, at least with the card you have some chance of carrying it in your wallet and not searching everywhere for passports and birth certificates!

maybe just that only 98% of the adult population carries one?
(I just guessed that stat [blink])
I carried a workplace issued ID card for years and found it nothing but useful. Was accepted everywhere as ID etc.

Hmmmmm – I’ll have to rethink any stats you quote from now on Simon. A bit of checking and balancing may be in order.[bigeyes]

Skype – derekjones2113simon – not much difference until you start looking at the requirements or penalties for not carrying it. I worked as a police officer for about 10 years so I can see many areas where it would be beneficial but I also have a bit of a problem with the big brother intrusions that come with these sorts of things.
I’m 50 / 50 on the idea. Documents will get copied and increased security features just means that the black market docs will cost more.

On Christmnas Eve my wife drove some drunks home as she doesn’t drink and they couldn’t get a taxi. Smiled as she got booze bussed with a righteous feeling. Left $75 poorer for not carrying her license – she hadn’t planned to drive but being a good citizen was no excuse apparently!
I find it hard to imagine Australian society insisting that we carry it outside our homes at all times. Maybe it will just be necessary for times when we need ID – travel, banking etc etc
Would certainly make this a lot easier – esp if it was a smart card with medical info, drivers license codes etc etc stored on it. Maybe even use to pay for things with a small change type swipe card. Swipe now for the newspaper, the big mac or the bus ticket. No PIN or keys needed.
I reckon this can be good if it is done right.
