Rex suggests we check out what happens in countries which use a successful "opt out" system such as Spain; then asks; "If they can do it, why can't we?...All we need to do is ask and then sensibly assess the answers. Is that too hard for us to do?"
Sadly, the answer to that is "Yes. Much too hard." Spain is a secular, independent country in which children are taught to use reason at an early age. Australian politics are dominated by religion, and our politicians are lickspittles of the USA now, and China in a couple of years. Reason and common sense have never interfered with political decisions in Australia in the past, and there is little likelihood of their doing so in the future.

So you mark the dodgy licence Donor A (or whatever)
the holder is still dead. Or do you mean that the bad people will grab people and murder them and supply a crook licence with the bits?
Seems a hard way to go about it.
Maybe we just need more secure licences.

That you could ask such a question is proof that many have no idea what goes in the real world.
Actually your not that far off the mark. Ids are often obtained through grave yards.
A bodgey Licence in real easy to obtain if you know where to shop.
It more common than ice which you can get with fifteen minutes.

God the legal nightmere ramifactions are endless. Cant you just see a family sueing the hospital and the Government because their family member[ sometimes an illegal] got their whatever taken because that was on [ or not on their bodgey licence.

Hey what about the licences that have half a dozen owners.?

Probably however you have no idea of what I am on about.

Being a owner of a investigation company for years I can assure you its a nightmere waiting to happen if you push this.

Never mind the tax payer will pay and after all Howard already did his deal with insurance companies to protect the reasonsible.

Even if you proved a case of misuse and unlawful removal of a loved ones organs you might get Ten[k]
Too bad that it would be a thirty thousand to fity grand case not to mention the upset for the victims family
Good intentions dont always end up with good results.
