New Zealand did this earlier this year, as part of giving in to pressure
from the US to have passports with biometric information.
Here is a press release of last June from the NZ Green Party's Human
Rights spokesperson. A quote from it "Most people arriving in our fair
land have smiles on their faces and there is nothing wrong with having
passport photos to match"
