00:02South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and, finally, WA.
00:08We have money in the budget this year, just over $28 million to progress a wallet and
00:14a digital driver's licence for Western Australians.
00:16Expected to roll out by the end of next year, WA's digital driver's licences pitched as
00:22a secure way to carry your ID.
00:24For some, the change can't come fast enough.
00:27All my friends love their IDs and they're all crying, like, I can't find my ID, can't
00:32find it, so that would be amazing.
00:34For others, concerns over data security.
00:37I don't think that's a great idea, especially until the government finds ways to create systems
00:42and policies to verify and secure cyber security, basically.
00:46The state government adamant personal information will be protected, with physical licences here
00:51to stay for the foreseeable future.
00:53We understand that there are some people that are wary or sensitive around digital licences
01:00or capturing of digital information.
01:02You won't be forced to have a digital driver's licence, you can still have a physical card
01:06if that's your preference.
01:07The opposition calling for a cast iron guarantee for those promises.
01:12They would want to be 100% certain that this data is secure before this scheme is rolled out.
