Mate: The new national ID card will paint your house, change nappies and fix the perfect martini.  It\'ll fix greenhouse gas emissions, tune your carbie, eliminate spam and cure malaria.  It\'ll prevent alien invasion and teach you karate.  The only thing it won\'t do is violate your privacy, because the little buggers will be grown in special Edwardian vats to ensure they\'re brought up proper, with liberal applications of the strap, and seen but not heard.  

Trust me, I held a royal commission into all this and it came back all lights green.
