 Roger Clarke's 'TFN Scheme'
A number of protections existed to ensure that the TFN scheme was not, and could not become, the general-purpose national identification and personal data system that the Australia Card scheme had been intended to be.
HECS was originally referred to as 'the graduate tax', but this term was dropped by the Government because it claimed (reasonably enough) that the charge was not a tax, but a fee for services: it was merely to be collected through the taxation system as a matter of convenience and economy.
Nonetheless, the Government drafted the legislation such that the TFN Act and the subsequent Higher Education Funding Act 1989 established the HECS scheme as 'taxation law', and hence authorised the administering agency to use the TFN.

A TFN is a number that is issued to a person by the Commissioner of Taxation and is used to verify client identity and establish their income levels.
