Guess next year they'll bring in credit card licenses....with biometric data and a photo which could replace the ASIC card.
Problem,
How do overseas organisations interpret the data on the card?
eg, Hello Mr Gulftream Captain Fourbars...I'm from the FAA and here to help...do you have your license handy?
Unless CASA hands out readers to all that need them...
The old CASA card licenses weren't ICAO compliant. That's why they went to paper last time.
