Australia Post has entered the conversation about how the nation should go about verifying the age of an individual before allowing them to watch pornographic material online or participate in online wagering, putting forward its own digital identity solution as a suggestion.

In a submission [PDF] to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs’ inquiry, launched in September, the postal service promoted its digital identity play “Digital iD” as providing a suitable option for verification, as it gives an individual a “Keypass” that could also be coupled by a second layer of authentication.
