The Australian Democrats, the Australian Labor Party and privacy groups continue to hold serious concerns regarding the federal government's proposed Access Card, after a re-draft of the legislation was released on Thursday last week.
The Australian government yesterday launched a new "tamper-resistant" passport, but has stopped short of including new biometric technologies required for the nation's continued participation in the United States visa waiver program beyond late 2004.
Irregularities in evaluations of SmartGate's over its six week trial period have raised questions about Customs Minister Chris Ellison's claims concerning the biometric passport systems' performance.
Critics of the SmartGate facial recognition system will soon be silenced said the co-author of the first comprehensive study on the program expected to be released next year.
The Australian Customs Service (ACS) is refusing to release results of its survey of Qantas personnel participating in a pilot of its SmartGate biometric facial recognition technology at Sydney Airport.
