Angry Queensland Removes Gender from Drivers Licences.

"Complaints from the LGBTI community have led to a move by transport bureaucrats which will see gender removed from all Queensland driver’s licences.
Queensland licences have also historically displayed the driver’s height, as well as hair and eye colour, but these details will also be scrapped under moves confirmed by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR).
According to a report in The Courier Mail, a leaked document from the Department said that “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.”
There had also been complaints about how other personal and identifying details were being captured on Queensland’s driver’s licences.
“TMR has received feedback that the collection of personal information (eye and hair colour, complexion, height) may be perceived as discriminatory by some members of the community,” the document said.
A spokesperson for Roads Minister Mark Bailey told The Courier Mail that the main reason for the change was federal anti-discrimination laws and improvements in technology that meant the data was not needed to identify someone. (My comment : just an excuse for political correctness.)
While new driver’s licence applications still require Queensland drivers to nominate their gender when they apply for a licence, the details are no longer shown on the card. The driver’s height has been removed entirely from the application and no longer appears on the card."

The Nation is insane, bowing down to every type of wind bag is the epitome of the deranged madness.
Political Correctness is a Pox on every Nation in History and driven into moral total decay.

"Complaints from the LGBTI community have led to a move by transport bureaucrats which will see gender removed from all 2Queensland driver’s licences." And QGov is using anti-discriminationlaws as an excuse to bring it in. LGBTI asked for it. Upside is no more malevfemale drivers comments.

Once a complaint has been made the government (doesn't matter which side) is bound by laws. Not a great idea to break them.

Fwiw I have zero idea who wrote the federal laws but they are there.

Direct your anger at the right people!

I wonder if any people will go in and ask to have their gender removed























































from their older current licences?

Don't know exactly how long it's been
but gender is not printed on South Australian or Victorian licence cards either.

You just prompted me to go and check mine.

I have a truck licence so I'm not sure if that national thing still applies but it's issued and headed as a wa licence.

It contains my address and date of birth, licence class (mc) nothing more.

You are only a number now and who you are does not counts for nothing, that's how it works in Socialist States everyone is equal and the government owns you and you become one of it's Cattle.
We once had the rights over the government and they worked for the people who elected them and that's the government of the people, not the governments people. that's what Germany became in the 1930's and that was Political Correctness in it's workings.
They are selling us out down the drain for their political correct gods of the New World Order, so as a power to control every Nation in the world that dictates our Governments what to do.
It's madness you can't do or say this or that or big bro comes the heavy with any who step out of line, but this fabian system comes on slowly, they are not using a hook but feeding us poison bit by bit.
The governments have used ploys to dup us with, the new definition of Marriage is only the tip of the ice berg and all such spiel is just a great con job.
Anyone who speaks up about such things is come down on by nazi type thugs and you become an enemy of the State if you do not conform.
