The value of the ASIC

Had the misfortune of losing my wallet,Cancelled the cards and applied for newies, all OK.
Then I front up to the Local Constabulary to have a new Drivers Licence issued. 100 point ident test required. For the photo ID, you beaut, I've got my ASIC in the car. Would you believe she would not accept it as bono fide photo ID. This card was only issued after ASIO,AFP and State Police Checks. I had to go home and get my Passport.
That in itself is not a problem, but it does demonstrate what a farcical load of Cr*p this whole ASIC exercise has been.
Probably the worst part is the loss of those small bits of paper with phone Nos. and email addresses.
And NO there were no circular indentations in the old wallet
Blo*dy Hell we're being conned with this Security charade
Put the Loud Hailer away
