Identity
[From Column 8...]
"While trying to obtain a birth certificate for my 16-year-old daughter to get her L plates, I discovered why it is so difficult for Australians to prove their identity," writes Kathleen Swinbourne. "In order to obtain a driver's licence or a passport you need a birth certificate. But in order to obtain a birth certificate you need a driver's licence or a passport. Of course, if you don't have either of those, you can use your firearms licence, or your security guard/crowd control licence, combined with your veterans' affairs card. I mean, don't all 16-year-olds have these?"
