The Special Minister of State and Member for Eden-Monaro, Gary Nairn, said the introduction of new smart card systems would improve the delivery of government services to individuals.
"I have been working with the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) to develop the frameworks necessary to underpin Australia's transition to a more responsive electronic service model, as outlined in the Australian Government's e-Government Strategy, which I released earlier this month," said Mr Nairn.
"The recent draft Australian Government Authentication Framework (AGAF) for Individuals and the Australian Government Smart Card Framework are essential elements for building trust in these new systems of service delivery.
"Both the AGAF for Individuals and the Smart Card Framework have been the subject of extensive consultation.
"All state and territory governments, industry and key privacy groups had the opportunity to provide comment on the Australian Government Authentication Framework," said Mr Nairn.
