Title: Now it is gender free licences Post by juliar on Jan 12th, 2018 at 1:57pm
Tony Abbott warned this would happen if the SSM YES vote got up.
The Extremist Activist Greenies would see it as a green light to attack every aspect of Australian society. And it is happening. Police union slams gender-free driving licences 2:27pm, Jan 12, 2018 Updated: 15m ago Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk removed gender information from driving licences in 2016. Photo: AAP Queensland’s Police Union has slammed the removal of gender information from the state’s driving licences as “out of touch nonsense” despite acknowledging the move has no impact on operations. The Palaszczuk government stopped displaying gender information on new and renewed licences in October 2016, but the Transport and Main Roads department still records the details, which are available to police. While it’s not been noted as an issue by any officers until now, the plan has been derided by Queensland Police Union president Ian Leavers. “It generally doesn’t have any effect on how we as police can do our job; it does, however, have all the hallmarks of the typical, out-of-touch nonsense we as a society have come to expect from government bureaucrats with no practical experience,” Mr Leavers told AAP on Friday. “The next thing you know, these same government types will want to remove the actual photograph of a person from a driver licence because people might be offended because their photograph doesn’t look as good as they’d like it to be. Where does it end?” Queensland Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington says the move is the result of a focus on political correctness. She has called for gender information to be once again stated on Queensland licences, labelling its removal a “nanny state” move. “It’s offensive and it’s just gone mad.” Ms Frecklington says the government should instead be focused on unemployment, ensuring trains are ready for the Commonwealth Games and lower power bills. The change was made following amendments to the 2013 Commonwealth Sex Discrimination Act and improvements to biometric imaging and facial recognition technologies. https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/2018/01/12/qld-police-union-slams-removal-gender-driving-licences/ |

Nothing to do with SSM numbnuts. This began a year at least before the SSM thing got under way. It is also standard practice in at least NSW.

Not according to the article.
It is very much a political correctness thing that is fired up by the SSM YES vote. And the Pally Qld Labor govt is sucking up to the Greenies since the election so it all fits like a glove. Tony Abbott was right. |

Completely wrong. The process to change licence details (sex and height) began ('fired up') at least 12 months before the push for SSM. Where is the Article does it say otherwise you parrot? |

Anyone here read Big Brother? You should because we are edging towards it millimetre by millimetre Our 'soft cock' society is headed for a fall..a big one You only have to look at Victoria where an impotent Left Wing hand wrenching Premier Daniel Andrews is allowing terrorism on the streets of Victoria Do yourself a favour and take a look at the new movie 'The Darkest Hours' with Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill. Watch how Churchill dealt with the white flag wavers like Neville Chamberlain and Lord Halifax. It is a tour de force and a prime example of how to resist the left wing soft cocks of this world |

Now political correctness is making its way into your wallet: Queensland scraps GENDERS from its driver's licences after receiving complaints from the LGBTI community
•The Queensland Government will roll out new gender-less driver's licences •The move comes as members of the LGBTI community argued discrimination •But Department of Transport said technological advancements are the reason By Nkayla Afshariyan For Daily Mail Australia Published: 01:56 AEDT, 12 January 2018 | Updated: 02:01 AEDT, 12 January 2018 The Queensland Government has scrapped a requirement for gender to be shown on all driver's licences, after complaints from the LGBTI community. The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) confirmed that height was also removed as a requirement, after concerns the collection of personal information was potentially discriminatory. However, the Department said the move towards gender-less licences was due to the need to make driver's and marine licences compliant with new anti-discrimination laws, according to the Courier Mail.

'TMR has received complaints and suggestions from members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community about displaying gender/sex (M or F) on TMR cards,' a department document said. Other information, such as eye and hair colour, is also being removed from records attached to licences.

Do you have a cock Gregg - then like it or not you're a Male
Licence details are a necessary part of Law Enforcement Police don't have time to jerk around with drivers ascertaining whether they are male, female or transsexual This is just another prong from the Left wing wankers always looking at weakening the Law |

Why would they need to know that? Have you ever been asked your gender when pulled over for a random I certainly haven't. A police office has never asked me my gender. Whether it be at a booze bus, for speeding, or for a random licence check, I have never been asked if I'm a man, woman, or transsexual. Why would a traffic cop need to know that? |

Its not on Victorian licences either.

What is next? Not being able to identify a perpetrator of an extreme crime because it would be racist, sexist, ageist, etc? Most people reach their full height by the time they are old enough to drive. Assuming the department of transport does another measurement of someone's height when they renew their licence, you would assume height is for the sake of quick identification. And gender helps in elimating about 50% of potential suspects.
