Australia to use biometrics for arriving and departing passengers?

Finger printing on the way according to this report.

Security screening at Australian airports is set to be beefed up as part of new anti-terror measures, 3AW reports. All passengers arriving in or departing Australia will be subject to finger printing and biometric testing. Eighty national security officers will be deployed to major airports while airlines will be asked to provide passenger details to authorities well in advance.
And $630M announced for counter terrorism, to be spent over 4 years.
