I had to get my forklift licence renewed to the latest photo id licence, as all of Australia Worksafe laws are coherant with each other.
Went to Teds photo shop in Ringwood and came away with a few passport photos 10 minutes later.
Took my passport photos and the application form to my local Australia post store this morning, gave the guy my drivers licence, Medicare card and credit card to prove my 100 points, everything was ok.....until i gave him my photos for my new licence.
"Sorry sir, you are not allowed to smile in the photo, it is stipulated on the application form"
And it was ! Somewhere in small print it says you cant smile in the licence photo, WTF !
This IS NOT a passport, its a bloody forklift licence, what is this country coming to ?
Anyway, had to get another passport photo done, this time with my lips closed and a scournfull look on my face, and another $14.
I am really concerened with what this country has become and becoming.
