There is nothing in the Bill to suggest a reference to the security of the State or anything of that nature would be included in the provisions. It is a matter for each individual Department and agency to decide the most appropriate form of ID. The Senator is entitled to her view, but a lot of what she has said is already the law and included in the Social Welfare (Consolidation) Act 2005. I do not think we are proposing to unwind that legislation.
