Had a call from the Consumer and Privacy Task Force on the Health and 
Social Services Access Card (aka "Smart Card Taskforce") to say that 
they are seeing if they can get submissions in an accessible format.

The submissions which they have received, in PDF and/or RTF, are at 
<http://www.humanservices.gov.au/access/discussion_papers/>.

But somehow my submission seems to have slipped off the end (they say 
it will be up shortly) <http://www.tomw.net.au/technology/it/smartcard/>.  ;-(

Also there is a useful collection of discussion papers and other 
material about the project 
<http://www.humanservices.gov.au/access/additional_information.htm>.

Unfortunately, the original "KPMG Access Card Business Case" is still 
in its difficult-to-read image PDF format 
<http://www.humanservices.gov.au/modules/resources/access_card/kpmg_access_card_business_case.pdf>.
