This is a
classic example of a badly through through tweet.
Scott
Morrison apparently thinks gender is recorded on drivers licences and, having
failed to check his own NSW Drivers Licence, he tweeted this belief to the
world.
[1/2] A Liberal National Government will never remove gender from birth certificates, licenses and passports – who are Labor kidding? Get real. https://t.co/CLk70qL3rI— Scott Morrison (@ScottMorrisonMP) October 31, 2018
This was a typical response on Twitter.
So, memo gallery journalists: when the politicians fume about removing gender from driver’s licences, maybe one of you might quietly point out that it isn’t there now.— Jonathan Green (@GreenJ) October 31, 2018
Yes, that’s
right. The states not federal government issue drivers licences and as can
clearly be seen on this NSW mockup – although the
current licence application form asks for full name, residential
address, date of birth and gender – only the first three appear on the actual drivers
licence issued.

Yes, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison gets more Trump-like with each passing day.
