As somebody said it is unlikely you would get a government to remove requirements for ASICs but just maybe pilots could have it extended to 10yrs like a passport. This may be a better and more achievable aim.
Pilots with ASIC and are found to be a security risk would be required to return their current ASIC and face a large fine if they do not. Overseas "visitor" learning pilots & baggage handlers would still have the current 2 year ASIC. (make baggage handlers & LAMEs get a longer one depending on years in industry) Remember CASA reduced the cost or processing class 2 medicals & removed most of the compliance requirements for small AOC operators with respect to DAMP (drug & alcohol). They can change with pressure from pilots & industry. That would be my approach.
