You guys just dont get it do you
The requirement was announced by the Minister
March 2005, nine months before, it was hardly a surprise in December.
I see you work for
VB.
So tell me they haven't been reminding you.
Tell me you never watch the news or read the papers and have been on holidays on the planet Mars for the last 12 months and I might take a different view.
The Ministers announced before Christmas and it was reported widely that there would be an "amnesty" until the 31st March 2006 as long as you had sent your application before 31/12/2005.
This announcement was the result of some very hard work by a number of people including CASA to get the Government to understand that it was
their original deadline and it was not achievable with the current resources. Hence the 90 day extension.
It was made perfectly clear that if you did not apply within the time stated you would be denied any latitude.
How hard is that
It is NOT news that you will be fined.
Get with the programme mate
you are part of the problem not part of the solution.
