ASIC Cards and Aviation ID Australia - FINES
I got a phone call today from a bloke over at AviationIDAustralia(.com.au) . He was enquiring as to the where abouts of an ASIC card I had that expired in October 2007, 12 months ago.
I told him that I handed it in when I renewed my ASIC through the airport I work at, to which he replied, well, if your old ASIC card dosen't get back to us, you get a fine, it says so on the back.
I was bemused. I handed my card in to Airport Management, who wouldn't give me my new card unless I did so, and then they failed to forward my expired card onto this organisation. Now it's up to me to provide a Statuatory Declaration saying that I did infact hand it into the Airport Management when I got my new card, or I'll get a fine.
I'm bewildered that the onus of responsibility for this has come back to me.
<insert sarcastic comment about the usefullness of ASIC cards and the bureaucracy surrounding them here>
