The Minns Labor Government is putting the personal data of every NSW driver at risk, quietly preparing to privatise the production of driver licences in a time of when cyberattacks are an everyday occurrence across the world.
 
Leader of the Opposition Mark Speakman said Chris Minns and Customer Service Minister Jihad Dib were gambling with the privacy and security of millions of people.
 
" Chris Minns’ anti-privatisation rhetoric rings hollow. Cyberattacks are exploding across the world — yet he thinks now is the right time to hand over your name, your address and your facial image to private companies.
 
"This is another desperate grab to cover up the Government’s 2025 budget mess."  Mr Speakman said.
 
Service NSW — once the gold standard for trusted, secure government services — is being gutted. First Labor axed the Fair Go for Safe Drivers program in February 2024, punishing safe drivers. Now they’re selling off your licence production without even admitting it.
 
Shadow Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government James Griffin said the move would make NSW drivers even more vulnerable to cybercriminals.
 
"Instead of investing in secure, government-controlled licence production, the Minns Labor Government is waving the white flag on privacy," Mr Griffin said.
 
The Minns Labor Government is laying the groundwork for privatisation with NSW motorists — and hiding behind public servants and RFIs to do its dirty work.
 
This is what the Minns Labor Government wants to do — rip apart trusted services, risk your security, and leave families paying the price.
 
You can't fix big problems with small targets. And the Minns Labor Government is the smallest target of all.
