"A MAJORITY of Australians now support a national identity card, two decades after the concept was dumped following a popular revolt. In a reversal of positions since the Australia Card was sunk in 1987, the ID card now under consideration by the federal Government is supported by 53 per cent of the electorate. A Newspoll conducted exclusively for The Australian found that 31 per cent of voters were opposed to the ID card, compared with 57 per cent against 19 years ago, when it could only muster the support of 39 per cent of the electorate.
