Question Biometric Data and Interview

Hi,

Why dont Australian Government implement their visa system based upon biometric information and interview?Biometric information is very important now and all countries UK,US use this technology to protect their borders.

Its really helpful and required for our security in this country?

Thanks,

We need this technology for more advanced level of security to our boarders.I am not comparing banana with apple but on the other hand want to feel as much secure as possible in my country (Australia).

If you feel safer in the USA I suggest you stay there. I don't really see how biometric data and interviews for visa applicants will make Australia any safer as regards border security than it is now.

Personally the biometric data collection is the reason I won't visit the US.

My view is why should I trust a country that has no responsibilities to me that I have no connection with and therefore have no reason to trust have this sort of personal information and for that reason I'll take my tourist dollars to a more welcoming place.

I second that.....

Don't like it - stay where you are. Don't come back if it's far and out of reach !

Finishing that statement with a question mark, implies you are not sure if it is or not ?

No, its just the usual posting style of a well-known troll.

As he is now banned, thread closed.
