Card effort steps up

The federal government is pressing ahead with technical implementation
of an Australia-wide smartcard designed to replace at least 17 different
kinds of magnetic stripe cards or related documentation including the
Medicare card.
All existing kinds of magnetic stripe cards are easily counterfeited by
overseas criminal groups, even driver's licences with holograms.
Wot, don't we even have in Australia criminal groups smart enough to do
our own counterfieting of magnetic stripe cards and cards with
holograms? Now that we have outsourced most of our manufacturing to
other countries, are our criminals now not even able to run their own
show and they have to depend on their colleagues overseas?
