quicko: ID cards

I don't quite understand why and had never picked up on this before, but I was told today that Australians have a real aversion to ID cards -- it's kind of rude to ask to see one, outside a "getting carded" situation, particularly as regards employment or official things. I wasn't quite clear if it was because they'd show nationality or age or lack of trust that a person was who they said they were.
