sthaussiepilot, they're no good as proof of id for nightclubs as they don't have your date of birth on them - already tried that. Maybe it was the hideous photo on mine that caused me to be refused entry though?
I have used mine as a proof of identity when pulled over by the police without a license. The policeman asked what the hell it was, then took it back to his car, came back 10 mins later and told me to have a good night. He must have been scared off by the Australian Government logo on the bottom?
Also good for impressing bar girls / starting conversation with them. Just take it out of the holder thingy and make it fall out of your wallet when paying for a drink. Then again if your that much of a tosser why not just wear four gold bars out?.
