    In South Australia you're not required to carry your drivers license if you have a standard car license or a motorbike class license but if you're on Ls or Ps or driving anything else e.g. truck whether a bit light or heavy You are required to carry and present your photographic license when requested

    In South Australia the back of the license states must be carried when driving but in South Australia this is not enforced for car or motorbike licenses other than as above

    What happens if you don't have a smart phone?
    What happens if you don't have a mobile phone?
    I sort of like the idea IF it was one items rather than a drivers licence, Boat licence, Bang stick, hunting permit, fishing........................................... ............................. that stuff my wallet to make me look like a millionaire but make me a pauper paying for each state governments inept systems.

    Like all smart things I like it as an option to the only option

    The front of my SA driver's licence states "please carry licence when driving". This would indicate a request rather than an obligation. Do heavy vehicle licences state otherwise, or do I have an old licence?

    It's only a small step to go from it being a 'convenient' way to hold your licence information to your phone being turned into a government tracking device you've had the privilege to pay for.

    How long would it be before the app also required permissions to see where you are, what websites you've visited, who you've called and sent texts to before it can be installed? And if you refused those permissions and refused to install the app, would it mean you no longer have a licence?

    Anyway, those are my thoughts. Now, where's me tinfoil hat?
    You're already tracked by your phone....

    And google, your Bank etc...

    People consider privacy a freedom, but like anything - no-one gives a rats arse about people going about boring daily stuff...

    People feel a lot stronger about not being mugged, raped, murdered etc... Some things are a compromise.

    I've been mugged and raped but not murdered and I still feel my privacy is being invaded by tracking cookies.

    It's why I have the GPS and location functions turned off on my phone (even though I know I can be tracked by tower handshakes) and also why I don't have the eHealth info enabled with my Mediscare account.

    I withdraw cash and purchase my groceries with it and I don't have the flybuys card.

    Yes I am a dinosaur.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Agree. its a bit like the opposition to the "Australia Card" 1985-1987 which when dumped gave us Tax file numbers used by tax, banks, employers and financial institutions, Medicare Cards used by GPs but not hospitals, URN or Unique Record Number used by individual hospitals but not shared between any hospital, Driver's license numbers, Boat Licence which is the same number as the drivers licence but on another card, Firearms Licences. Doh
    Don't give your TFN and 50% withholding is a kicker Ditto for ABN,

    I wish Hawke had the gonads to push the Australia Card through. The privacy arguments against it has seen our details held and spread widely and at a much higher likely hood of misuse IMO.

    I wonder what number ASIO uses for you

    Actually Medicare numbers are required by public hospitals otherwise you are registered as Medicare Ineligible and will receive a fee for services. URN's or at least the originating MRN are shared between hospitals within an Area Health Service/Local Health District and if multiple MRN exist they are now all linked to each other. e.g. my Sydney Hospital, St George Hospital and Shoalhaven District Hospital MRN are all linked to my Prince of Wales Hospital MRN and my Sydney Children's Hospital Staff Health MRN

    Not paranoid, I just don't share the philosophy that my purchasing and travel habits are available for resale to marketing companies.
