Like I said 1st up, if you're a law abiding citizen it won't worry you.

Well, perhaps it wouldn't worry me if I was sure we had a law abiding government.

Vote early & vote often eh Wongo?
BTW jackboots are usually associated with facism, not socialism. And is a socialist worker? A union member? A worker from Cuba? PAYG person whom is a socialist?
Not being a spelling nazi, but confusing terms of reference is plain confusing.

This is all just a smokescreen, never fails to amuse me how many times they get away with this old double feint. and everyone still falls for it over & over & over, there probably never was going to be and never will be from the present mob any such thing, it's about blindsiding all of us with something else. The biggest mistake most people make is in the belief politicians are stupid, they're not they are generally very smart individuals, whom mentally can run rings around most us normals, and they hunt in packs.

I have not yet and don't think I will hear a sensible and coherent argument against the ID card.

I have been saying for years that we should have an ID card that everyone over 15 years old has to carry. Think how much easier it would be if a natural disaster such as the tsunami were to hit, to identify people killed. Or car accidents, or any number of things. Those who say that civil liberties are curtailed by an ID card are idiots (as are all civil libertarians).

But then I also say the same of DNA. Everyone should be DNA profiled at about 2 years of age and their DNA filed. You could even put the DNA profile in code on the ID card. Added security.

The only people with something to fear from being identified are those who deserve to have their liberties removed. If you do nothing wrong, you will never have your DNA see the light of day. I see DNA profiling as a bigger deterrent to hideous sex crimes and offenders than the poxy sentences handed down by judges. If someone is caught after they are profiled then they obviously have to be removed from the community and locked up forever, because they obviously can't help themselves.

No mate, 'smart' politicians don't last. It's the cunning ones who do. Much to our detriment.

G'day,

DanP, I fully agree with you.

[Termite]

I agree with Dan about there being no valid reasons against an ID card, if it is going to be accepted as an actual Identity Card.

How it will be accepted is another question. Lets face it, Australia is a country that does not even recognise it's own passports as prime proof of identity. So what use is an ID card going to be.

Try putting over your passport when you want to open a bank account or get a licence, Ha, they'll ask you for something else like an electricity bill or some other real proof of identity.

The government's track record regarding identity methods brings very much to mind things like "Couldn't organise a chook raffle" or "Couldn't organise a .... in a ....... with a fist full of $100 dollar notes".

Excuse me for being cynical but I would expect law enforcment officers to want to have more power.
Are you going to arrest people for not carring one?

Maybe not today but as the government gets more paranoid, they'll instruct you do so in the future.

I have not yet and don't think I will hear a sensible and coherent argument against the ID card.

A study of history will suggest that enforcing people to carry ids and the recent enactment of laws that diminish our civil liberties have a way of being turned around and used against us.

In the '70s, the Charlie Court government in WA enacted a law (54b) that made it illegal for groups of more than 3 people to congregate in public without a permit. It was designed to stop the Hari Krishnas from harassing people. 12 months later the the Court government used this law to instruct the police to arrest anyone who attended a union meeting.

Those who say that civil liberties are curtailed by an ID card are idiots (as are all civil libertarians).

I must be a idiot then.
