<dt>Biometric passport: <span class="good">Data retention, LEA access</span></dt>
<dd>
<p><p>According to
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometric_passport#Countries_using_biometric_passports">Wikipedia</a>,
citizens of <em>Australia</em> can/must have biometric passports [doesn't imply retaining biometric information].</p>
</p>
<p><h5>Biometric passport data retention</h5>
<p>Accroding to the US <a href="https://archive.today/oNlGC">Library of Congress</a>, biometric data collected for production of passports is also retained and may be used by law enforcement agencies in
<a href="country-ar.html">Argentina</a>,
<a href="country-au.html">Australia</a>,
<a href="country-br.html">Brazil</a>,
<a href="country-fr.html">France</a>,
<a href="country-il.html">Israel</a>,
<a href="country-nz.html">New Zealand</a>,
<a href="country-ua.html">Ukraine</a>,
and the <a href="country-us.html">USA</a>.</p>
<p>This may — of course — gradually create creeping de-facto databases of a large part of the population (citizens who travel).</p>
<p>This practice is <strong>prohibited by law</strong> in
<a href="country-de.html">Germany</a>, <a href="country-se.html">Sweden</a>, and <a href="country-kr.html">South Korea</a>.</p>

<dt>National ID card: <span class="good">No</span></dt>
<dd>
<p><p>According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_identity_card_policies_by_country#Countries_with_no_identity_cards">wikipedia</a>,
<em>Australia</em> doesn't have a national identity card.</p>

<p><em>The "foreign fighters" bill means there will be a major expansion of facial
recognition imaging of Australians passing through international airports in
a crackdown on passport fraud that could eventually apply to a wide range of
biometric data – which could be shared with other government agencies.</em></p></li>
