I have outlined some of my concerns already my speech in the second reading debate. I wanted to hear from the government on the error rates for facial recognition technology in the trials of SmartGate. The information that the minister’s office provided to me earlier is an Australian Customs Service document, Overview of SmartGate trial, from February 2004. Is there anything more recent than that? This is a technology that is changing—I hope that it is improving—and I wondered about the current status of the error rates.
