National banks and a biometric testing provider have expressed concerns in submissions to parliament on the Digital ID Bill that will govern the Australian Government Digital ID System (AGDIS). BixeLab commented that the bill as it stands can hinder testing integrity. Banks and others have also argued the private sector should access digital IDs at the same time as state governments, rather than maintain its current multi-step plan.
The Digital ID Bill was first introduced to Parliament in November and includes a number of rules referring to biometric testing. BixeLab submitted an inquiry to parliament supporting the oversight of accreditation by a regulator as outlined in the bill.
