If the Australian Fed government thought they could get away with it, I think they'd love to introduce something like that into law. Till then they'll just stick with stopping them on the water plus airside and the sweeps through the taxi drivers & the seasonal fruit & veg pickers.
Ord, I find it strange that your Federally issued documentation isn't accepted as a form of ID for the purposes of getting another. Down here if I needed a new drivers licence, passport or bank account and I had a official ID (warrant card, badge, photo security pass) from the appropriate State/Fed Government agency (DoJ, DoD, ATO, etc) it would count towards the 100-points standard we use, heck some of what I listed is good for 80 to 100 points.
