[edit] Visa free access

Need to put up a visa free access list of countries, similar to "Malaysian passport" " British passport" etc.. From what i know, australian passports have same number of visa free access countries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.122.228.82 (talk) 14:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Good job. Well done to whoever put up the new list of visa free access for Oz passports. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.45.165.192 (talk) 10:32, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] language

why is french used in the australian passport? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.203.222.244 (talk) 04:46, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I guess because French is the 2nd most understood language besides english? I think. And taking into account that the passport is give visa-free access for many countries in Europe, Canada and Africa and that French is a 2nd language in these places, it seems kinda appropriate for it to be used in australian passports...

[edit] Trivia

Just was looking at my Aussie Passport (latest) and realised on the last pages there are lines that are made up of the words of Waltzing Matilda. Is this a wikipedia worthy fact? Also because of the electronic chip a logo resembling the Australian Aboriginal Flag has been placed on the cover of the Passport. I have no idea if this is intentional, but it is kind of ironic that an Australian document that does not contain the Australian flag seems to contain that of the Indigenous Australians (good on whoever did this if it was intentional!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.220.153.212 (talk) 07:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Isn't the logo on the front of the Australian passport the Australian coat of arms? JAJ (talk) 04:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
