Can beat Jun or Jul 07.

Got mine with a day to spare, HOWEVER it is only valid until JAN 07, thats right 8 months.
Just under $12 a month, aint bad is it. Everyone was expecting 2 years - what a rip off. Expect a new card or if not, a refund or a massive and I mean masive discount on the next one. (Won't hold my breath though).

Have now been told and gathered from various forums that the validity date ties in with your police clearence date. I have never seen this stated any where during the whole sorry process and I reckon the fee must be payable on a pro-rata basis. Are they taking money under false pretences?

Contacted CASA who require I write a letter of complaint (as if I needed prompting). They have an enquiries (read complaints) dept for this and I can imagine it is going to be very busy.
