Yeah... I don't think there are as many of those as you think.

No Aussie drivers licence, no healthcare, most places won't rent to you, can't build a life really.

It's hard enough to build a life while minimising the data you spread around, but with the sheer number of services that require id and proof of right to be here I can't imagine there are a ton of these people.
