My question is to the Minister for Human Services, Senator Ian Campbell. Given that the government’s new ID card plan will create an enormous national database with biometric photos and information on almost all adult Australians and many children, can the minister inform the Australian public about who exactly will have access to the national database? In particular, can the minister confirm that the Security Intelligence Organisation, ASIO, and the Australian Federal Police will be able to access the database, and on what basis that access will occur?
