Narre Warren South electorate

Gary MAAS (Narre Warren South) (12:47): (179) My constituency question is for the Minister for Government Services and concerns the Andrews Labor government’s recent announcement to introduce digital driver licences. Minister, how will digital driver licences benefit constituents in my electorate of Narre Warren South? The times, they are a-changing, and the technological advances of the last 10 years have been really swift. We now have so much of our lives and our connection to the world on the phone in our pockets. I am looking forward to adding my driver licence to the digital wallet, and I know many of my constituents have also been waiting for this service. I understand that the drivers licence will be accessed through the Service Victoria app. I would appreciate any further information that the minister could provide on the benefits of digital driver licences for drivers, departments and businesses in my electorate, and I look forward to sharing the minister’s response with my community.
