National access card "mother of all IT projects"
This headline in yesterday's Australian "Smartcard headed for a fall" might prove to be unduly pessimistic but the article itself correctly cites some of the major challenges that face the Federal Government in giving effect to its commitment to proceed with a national access (not ID) card.
