RE "The stupidity is, the primary proof of identity was my driver's licence which was issued in 2009, and a passport using the image that was rejected."

Thanks Mr 'O',

But, I have found that in 'The Real World', MY Australian Passport - (VALID FOR 10 YEARS - Latest One 2015 to 2025) - will actually get ME into LOTS and LOTS of countries, including Russia, but my 'Australian ASIC' will not even get me a cup of coffee and a 'burger' at 'staff rates' anywhere..!!!

So, why should I not simply be able to produce my 'Australian Passport' at these particular airports requiring a "Secure ID"..??????

It has the same details in it / on it....n'est ce pas'...???? And...WHAT IS "MORE SECURE"..????

CASA / AFP...Feel free to comment.....

NO Cheers.....NOPE.....NONE at ALL!!!
