Melbourne public transport users could be slugged more than the cost of their fare if they fail to "swipe off" under the new electronic ticketing system, it was revealed this week.
Victoria's Transport Ticketing Authority has confirmed the state's new Myki public transport smart card system has suffered errors that caused passengers to be overcharged a total of 10,800 times over the past few months.
Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon appeared to resurrect the concept over the weekend of using a smart card to deliver a unique e-health identifier to Australians.
Welfare agency Centrelink has decided to make an internally developed smart card and ID authentication protocol freely available to external organisations.
Queensland Transport (QT) has selected three core technology suppliers for the state's chip-embedded drivers' licences, which will use public key infrastructure (PKI) to encrypt drivers' biometric information.
Federal Human Services Minister Joe Ludwig today said the government was looking for technology vendors to supply a new version of the Centrelink-issued BasicsCard that allows welfare recipients to access fundamental services.
The Queensland Government has signed a contract with Australian card manufacturing company Placard to provide millions of smartcard-based drivers' licences to the state.
