The Australia Card. This was a unique identifier for residents of Australia, for which the legislation did not proceed after nationwide protests. Protests marches featured depictions of government ministers in Nazi Gestapo dress, a reference to a government minister's agreement with a question asking if Australians might choose to tattoo the number on their wrists. The government refused to bend. The public reaction lead to sufficient numbers in the Senate to disallow the enabling regulations (the very body which has previously passed the bill). |
